A Tuscarawas County foundation has received more than $700,000 to support the survivors and families of the victims of November’s multiple-vehicle crash involving a bus carrying students from Tuscarawas Valley Local Schools.

The report states the crash happened because the semi at the rear of the line of vehicles was following too closely when the vehicles in front of it braked, causing a chain reaction crash involving five vehicles.

Funerals for the victims killed in the crash will take place Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday. The district will take a longer Thanksgiving break from Nov. 20 to Nov. 27.

The bus was carrying the students and chaperones to an Ohio School Boards Association conference in Columbus, Tuscarawas Valley Superintendent Derek Varansky said.
