(Michigan City, IN) - School buildings in Michigan City will start reopening Wednesday after catalytic converters were taken from 21 school buses overnight.

All elementary schools along with the Little Wolves Early Learning Center and the morning developmental Pre-K will operate on a regular in-person schedule, according to school officials.

Students in the remaining grades will again take part in eLearning.

All students were switched to eLearning today after it was discovered that 21 buses had catalytic converters stolen at the school corporation’s transportation garage on Woodland Ave.

No arrests have been reported but the investigation is ongoing, police said.

Buses from other schools were brought in to replace the temporarily disabled buses.

“We extend our sincere thanks to New Prairie United School Corporation and Warsaw Community Schools for generously providing additional buses to support our students,” school officials said.
