BELPRE -- Belpre City Schools will be closed today due to student and staff illness.
A call went out to parents Thursday afternoon, saying classes would be canceled and warning some Thursday evening bus routes would be doubled due to the number of bus drivers out sick. A message also was posted to the Belpre City Schools Facebook page.
"We have had a large number of staff members ill today including bus drivers. Parents some of our students may arrive home a little later this afternoon as we work to adjust routes and drivers to get our students home safely. Because of the volume of illness in our buildings we will be closed" today, according to the post.
Buses will still run to the Washington County Career Center today, with students being picked up at the high school, according to the Facebook page.
Officials could not immediately be reached for additional comment.
