Howard school board members Mallo and Chen attend parents’ town hall, seek solutions to bus challenges

Dozens of concerned parents met in Columbia Tuesday night to express frustrations with Howard County Public School System officials and their handling of new school start times, canceled bus routes, consistently late buses and other issues, three weeks into the new school year. Parents at the town hall, hosted by Neighbors for Buses, said their voices are not being heard by school officials, but at least two school board members attended Tuesday’s event.
