ALBION – An SUV that crashed into the Ronald L. Sodoma Elementary School this afternoon not only left a gaping hole in a fourth grade classroom, but damaged the back wall of the school, leaving several cracks.
The school district announced that it is closing the school on Tuesdays for grades prekindergarten through 5 so the building can be fully inspected and prepared for use again.
The district has also cancelled all evening activities today and Tuesday.
“Thank you to all our students, staff, and emergency folks for your work today!” the district said in a message to the community at 5:58 p.m.
