Howard County schools will rely on out-of-state bus drivers another week, superintendent says

Howard County public school students will continue getting rides next week from bus drivers flown in from other states, while dozens of local drivers work their way through a hiring pipeline. Superintendent Michael Martirano told a board of education meeting that leadership for the Zūm transportation company assured him Thursday that its out-of-state drivers will remain in Maryland over the weekend to help staff the jurisdiction’s strained bus system.
