As transportation issues remain, Anne Arundel school contractors and parents raise concerns about start time change

Next school year Anne Arundel County Public Schools will switch to later start times for high schools and earlier start times for elementary schools, a change pediatricians say is good for the health of growing students. For many county parents, getting students to school at all is still a challenge as bus contractors deal with a shortage of drivers resulting in missed or late rides. On Thursday more than 40 bus routes out of about 600 didn’t have service at least part of the day.
