"This is very disheartening because school does start Monday. This is about our children; our students thrive on technology,” Williams said. “They love technology and they've taken things that's going to hinder us for Monday.”

Williams said classes will begin Monday as planned, including those in the burglarized D-building, which houses third and fifth grade students.
