First Day Of School Canceled After Someone Deflates Bus Tires

CONCORD, Mich. (WWJ/AP) - Someone apparently wasn't very eager to start the new school year in a Jackson County community.

The first day of classes in the Concord district was canceled Wednesday because tires were deflated on all 10 buses. Superintendent Dan Funston told the Jackson Citizen Patriot that there wasn't enough time to refill the tires before the start of the day.

Funston says it's "awfully disappointing," especially after a successful open house Tuesday night.

Jackson County Undersheriff Chris Kuhl said he doesn't know the extent of the damage, but described it as "significant."

Concord will try again Thursday, although teachers didn't get a break. They still had to report to classrooms Wednesday. Of course, they don't ride school buses.
