Mr Adzie said the incident has been reported to the police in the area for further investigation.
Meanwhile, the parliamentary candidate for the PPP in the area, Felix Nartey has denied the claims by the school authorities.
He said the teachers are rather responsible for the attacks, as they directed the students to throw stones at his supporters after claims that the campaign team was interrupting lessons.
He maintained that the campaign team made a turn at the Kpeve High School as that happens to be the only option available for them.
