We just received an automated announcement that Carson City School District buses were vandalized and would not be running this morning. The announcement urged parents to make efforts to get their children to school however they can. According to one person in the district office, the entire fleet of school buses were vandalized.
Update: It appears vandals flattened the front two tires on all of the district's 44 buses. The district hopes the buses will be ready for service this afternoon.
