The Danville District 118 School Board voted Wednesday night to permanently close flood-damaged Cannon Elementary School, and re-organize district classes to adjust to the loss of the building.

A memo to parents from Superintendent Alicia Geddis calls closing the 100-year old Cannon Elementary School "a precautionary measure."  She says the long-term plan is to fix any problems to have it ready in time for the 2016-2017 school year.
