FCPS bus policies get renovation

Bus policies have changed. The Fairfax County School Board has implemented bus IDs to promote safety and efficiency for student bus riders. This policy—approved by Superintendent Michelle Reid and the FCPS Office of Transportation Services—requires students to present their IDs to their bus driver each time they enter and exit the bus. This differs from previous school years, when students could easily get on and off the bus without any identification. Along with the IDs, new technology has been added to modernize by introducing tablets and a new bus-tracking app. These additions are met with mixed opinions from both students and faculty across the county.

Free Cell, Life is Well

On Tuesday, May 26, 2026, Governor Wes Moore signed the Joanne C. Benson Maryland Phone-Free Schools Act (HB 525) into law. This new law restricts students from using their cellphones or personal devices during instruction time starting in the 2027-28 school year. The law requires each county board of education to “develop and implement, by the 2027-2028 school year, a policy prohibiting the use of certain electronic communication devices by a student during the academic school day.” This new state law requires counties to put in place bell-to-bell policies by the 2027-2028 school year, making it important to think about how these policies will affect students during the school day.
