The Wednesday before that, man slipped into the school and took about a dozen of the tablets.
"I know there are thieves in the world, but to take this from children who are learning who are very young - you, I mean, this is more than criminal. This is really the lowest of the low," said Joe Smith, chief operating officer of Eagle Academy.
