Last week, the district had to issue the same schedule due to shortages.
The district is among many affected by COVID-19 cases and other illnesses like the flu. Reynoldsburg City Schools implemented an altered bus schedule for the week, keeping all high school and preschool students remote learning.
Columbus City Schools, Cincinnati Public Schools and other districts have to cancel classes last week due to rising COVID-19 cases among staff.
