A northeast Mississippi school district is restarting classes on Tuesday after a March 24 tornado damaged the local high school.

Classes in the 1,500-student Amory district will resume, although officials say they won't run school buses Tuesday because of safety hazards from roadside debris and heavy equipment. The district says it will re-evaluate each day if it's safe to run buses.

The district says any student who can't make it to school Tuesday will be allowed to make up work.

A 33-year-old man and his infant daughter died in Wren, near Amory, with other injuries reported in Monroe County.

The South Delta School school district, which includes the severely damaged town of Rolling Fork in Sharkey County, had not set a timeline last week on when it would reopen, WAPT-TV reported.
