Howard County school leaders apologize for late, no-show school buses

On the first day of school in Howard County, thousands of kids at their bus stops waited eagerly. And waited. And waited some more. So many school buses showed up late, or didn’t show up at all, that Howard County schools Superintendent Michael Martirano apologized to families in a Monday morning email. “We are working to mitigate these challenges and will provide another update to families regarding information related to today’s dismissal shortly,” the email said.
