More Danville residents call for new school construction

DANVILLE – Though Rickey Williams Jr. has fond memories of attending East Park Elementary School, he told Danville schools officials on Wednesday he would like to see it torn down and replaced.

"It's decrepit, and it's time to move on," the Danville resident said, adding the same goes for North Ridge and South View middle schools, which are in the same shape.
