CENTRAL ILLINOIS (WCIA) — The extreme heat that has Central Illinois sweltering this week resulted in several area schools canceling classes for Thursday, and some of those cancellations will continue into Friday. The Champaign School District canceled classes across the district on Thursday. Two schools in particular – Centennial High School and Edison Middle School – suffered major system failures impacting what the district called critical areas of the buildings. This, combined with extreme danger aboard school busses, led the district to conclude it was best to close all schools on Thursday.
