GIRARD, Ill. (AP) -- Classes at a southwestern Illinois school district are closed for a second day after vandals left messages threatening to blow up some of the buildings.
Girard School Superintendent Marlene Brady says the nearly 700-student Macoupin County district is taking every precaution since the vandalism was found before school Monday.
Employees found 32 windows and three glass doors broken in the district's attendance center, which houses all grades from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Brady says most of the damage was done to the high school building.
She says two windows also were broken on the school's driver education car.
Brady says she hopes classes will resume Wednesday.
