HAMILTON, Ohio — Ross Local School District announced Thursday morning all its schools would be on a two-hour delay after a crash knocked out power to the district's main campus, according to a social media post from the district.

Posted at around 5:56 a.m., the social media post says a vehicle crash "damaged major power lines," leaving main campus without power.

Morning Kindergarten and preschool are canceled, the district said.

Butler Tech's transfer bus from the high school is running on time, according to the district.

The social media post asks people "please stay tuned for further communication."

Just before 7 a.m., Duke Energy showed that roughly 300 households were without power south of Millville. Duke's website estimated power in that area would be restored at around 8 a.m. Thursday morning.

"The outage was caused by an object coming into contact with our power lines," says Duke's outage map.

By 9 a.m., the outage only impacted 115 households, predominantly along US-27, but Duke pushed back the restoration time estimate for those homes to 2 p.m.
