An 11 and 12-yea-old boy are accused of using items to damage over two dozen yellow school buses.
The damaged buses forced the district to use spare buses on Monday and some routes were delayed. The normal bus schedule resumed by Monday dismissal and Tuesday's transportation was not impacted.
The district did not provide a timeline for when the damaged buses will be repaired.
