I am not sure why MCPS cannot add a feature so that we do not have to guess if bus is late. Bus was late today and we were about to drop at school as we did not see the bus past arrival / departure time.
Probably a safety issue. Put a tracker on your child.

I got a robo call today about a delayed bus from my child's school (I don't see it listed on the tracker) even though it wasn't my child's bus, I think they did a general all call.

What would be extremely useful is if This system were integrated with the MCPS program that texts (blackboard?), and with text the families affected by those delays.
I thought they said something in one the recent updates that affected families would be notified.
Here it is: "In an effort to improve communication of bus route coverage, Connect-Ed calls will also go out each evening alerting families to whether their student’s route will be uncovered for the next day."

uncovered for the next day
Who wrote that? How terrified are they to say your child won't have a bus tomorrow? Spit it out!

Maybe it’s a typo or a mistake in the route number.

Delayed? It says PM. Those buses aren’t going to show up.

The problem is that even if you check and notice that your child’s bus is delayed, you don’t know how much of a delay there is- 5 mins or 30 mins is quite the difference and you don’t want to miss the bus.

Yes. Not really a "tracker," but still a useful tool.
