Greenbelt Middle School to See Bell Change This Fall
The changes will allow the county to save millions in transportation and increase instructional time for struggling students.
In an effort to save around $5 million dollars from the budget, 34 Prince George’s County Public Schools will change their bell times to combine some high school and middle school bus routes, reported the Gazette.
As a result of this change, the school day for Greenbelt Middle School will run from 8:15 a.m. to 3:35 p.m
School officials say that the bell change will also add an extra 40 minutes of instruction time, which will be used to help struggling students meet state standards, according to the Gazette.
