In the situation I mentioned, the school officials finally took action a few weeks before Christmas vacation. The psychos that were doing this stuff suddenly disappeared - we never saw them again for the remainder of the school, and even after that (good riddance to them). The school also began securely locking the doors to the stairwell which led to the basement boiler room. I'm assuming that the transformer room was also somewhere in the basement - I remember seeing the overhead power lines going underground at a pole near the back of the school.

Thinking about it now, I imagine the school wound up in some very hot water when the POCO eventually discovered that the room was not secured.
