Acerra's schools have had a difficult week. On November 5, 2026, the Caporale middle school was vandalized and teaching computers were stolen, leaving the building described as unusable.

The incident follows damage at the de' Liguori high school two days earlier during a student occupation. According to the report, the high school's principal met with parents and students afterward, and the school was expected to reopen on November 6, 2026.

The middle school involved is the Scuola Secondaria di primo grado "G. Caporale," located at Piazza Falcone e Borsellino 8 in Acerra.

What remains unclear is how many computers were taken and the extent of the damage. The available sources do not provide confirmed information about those responsible or about any police response, and the high school's planned reopening has been reported as scheduled but not independently confirmed in a later source.
