FAYETTEVILLE -- Superintendent Matthew Wendt has requested a fencing project at Vandergriff Elementary School be completed during spring break.

A fence is located on school property but does not border the entire campus, he said.
"That will change," Wendt said Tuesday during a news conference.
Wendt anticipates the completed fence will be in place when children return to school March 27. Spring break is March 20-24.
Adron Benton, who attended Vandergriff Elementary School, went missing March 7 from the school playground and was found unresponsive in the swimming pool of a nearby home. He was taken to Washington Regional Medical Center and then to Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, where he died Wednesday, officials have said.
District officials are auditing other campuses to determine where additional fencing is needed to protect children from private property, roads and parking lots, he said.
