Vandalism has wrecked a new restroom project at Maui High School, a setback for students, the school community, and Hawaii taxpayers who will foot the repair bill.

• Concrete walls, columns, and pallets of blocks at the site were smashed.
• The state says the damage is significant and the contractor had been making good progress.
• Fixing it means more money, new materials, and restarting work that was already underway.
• Police are asking anyone with information to come forward; no suspects have been named.

Outlook: The project faces delays and higher costs while the search for those responsible continues.
