Flooding forces temporary closure of Janesville elementary school

JANESVILLE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A video shared by the School District of Janesville shows extensive flooding at one of their elementary schools. 

The district says stormwater forced its way inside Washington Elementary School Friday, flooding the school's kitchen, lunchroom, mechanical systems, art room, and several classrooms.

Due to the significant water damage, the district now has to find a place to accommodate roughly 400 students while they close the school for "the foreseeable future."

They say classes for Washington Elementary students have been canceled for the remainder of the week as they work to finalize a transition to a temporary learning space.
