What to know about Pr. George’s schools changing bell times, bus stops

More than half of Prince George’s County public schools will shift their starting and ending times by up to 15 minutes in the next academic year as part of ongoing changes that school officials say could ease transportation issues. About 68 percent of the youngsters in Maryland’s second-largest school system, or about 86,000 students, use buses each day. But just over 800 drivers drive students to and from school, and 200 more are needed, according to a transportation audit released in January.
