School officials in the in cities of Danville and Plainfield cited concerns about the safety of students and staff in announcing the closures of schools.

Danville Schools and the Danville Police take these types of situations very seriously. The school also tweeted that it was on lockdown. They say two drawings were found in a boys’ bathroom stall at the high school. Police are looking over video surveillance to see if they can find out who drew the images.
