Barrington Community Unit School District 220 canceled its classes today because its fleet of school buses were vandalized. Unknown culprits slashed the tires on "24 to 26 large buses and 15 to 17 smaller ones," apparently with an ice pick. School bus tires cost about $200, which means someone's on the hook for a lot of damage.
A note from the district's superintendent says about 7,000 of Barrington's 9,200 K-12 students take a school bus to school, and after hearing from the bus company early this morning,
...we determined that there was no way to transport all of our students to school without significant delays. Due to the cold weather, we did not want our students waiting at bus stops for long periods of time. In light of those facts, the decision was made to close schools.
District 220 includes a high school, two middle schools, eight elementary schools and an early childhood center.

Nice, you used a shot of school buses next two Robert Taylor before they tore it down. Was that Freudian?
I thought I heard the distant cheering of thousands of school children this morning.

Someone had a biology test today...
When I was in school, we just pulled the fire alarms
Those arent the Taylors spook. Although Im sure the yuppies wont mind the comparison
I was just looking for a shot of school buses. Honest.
Opps, I was thinking Beethoven School, looking toward the viduct/train tracks leading to the express way, and of course the Taylor high rise.
But I know "Walt Disney"-probably where yuppy Matty went- is around "high rises" as well.
