Past time to prioritize and fix school busing woes

Anne Arundel County School Superintendent Dr. George Arlotto’s opinion piece Sept. 5 stated we must practice grace, patience, and flexibility entering the new school year. Such sentiment is not just for global pandemics; grace, patience, and flexibility are how great teachers make our kids love school each day, every year. Yet Arlotto missed the mark in headlining what county public schools should be focusing on. The Annapolis cluster has shouted it for decades: equity, safety, and transparency. Oh, and transparent, safe, equitable transportation.
