Classes at the Cunupia Secondary School are set to resume by Wednesday.
This is after the principal's office was destroyed by fire on Saturday.
According to reports, a Form Four student and a gang of his friends broke into the school on Saturday afternoon and set fire to the principal's office and administrative offices.
Fire officers from the Chaguanas Fire Station were able to contain the blaze to that wing of the school.
The attack is believed to have been carried out as an act of retaliation after school officials seized the boy's cell phone last Friday.
While a Ministry of Education official confirmed that the school would reopen on Wednesday, the official could not say what action would be taken against the students if they are found guilty of the act.
The official said investigations by both police and school supervisors for the district are ongoing.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, could not say how much it might cost to repair the office or whether the repairs would be completed by Wednesday.
A similar incident took place at the El Dorado East Secondary School in March 2016, after the suspension of 21 students for deviant behaviour.
The T&T Guardian visited the school yesterday and spoke to several residents in the area who called for a constant police presence outside the school.
"There is a lot of violence here every day; on a daily basis fights break out after school," one resident said.
"They walk in front of your vehicles when you are driving, they cuss and block the roads when you are trying to drive out. If there was a consistent police presence they would never behave like this."
The resident said fights have become more violent and coordinated.
"There was some issue a few weeks ago where three boys blocked a maxi, opened the door, run in and start to beat another boy. The maxi driver had to intervene to save the boy...that is not normal behaviour. These children need some serious guidance in their lives."
