FWIW - schools are closed in St. Mary's. Catholic schools are in though; not sure if any of them have mid-day bus runs. :shrug:

School Bus and Semi Crash on Rt. 235; Bus Driver Cut from Vehicle
HOLLYWOOD - 4/4/2008
By Sean Rice, Managing Editor
At 12:23 p.m. today, a St. Mary’s County public schools bus and a tractor-trailer crashed on Route 235 in front of Dean Lumber in Hollywood.
Both drivers were injured. The driver of the tractor-trailer lost consciousness in the crash, and it took volunteer firefighters 15 minutes to cut the driver from the bus. A helicopter is set to land on Route 235.
There was one additional patient on the bus who was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The semi driver is also being taken by volunteer rescue squad ambulance to St. Mary’s to get checked out.
Northbound 235 was immediately closed after the crash and traffic in the southbound lanes is only crawling past as of 12:50 p.m.
St. Mary’s County school district officials responded to the scene. The bus was numbered 803.
Pictures from the scene are on the way.

not true, that's a public school bus. public school buses are 3 digit, private school buses are 2 digit, at least in smc.

What's not true, that it's a private school bus? Since public school is closed in St. M's today, how could it be a public school bus with 2 students on board? No public school bus number in St. M's is over 744, unless it's a substitute bus.

Correct, driver and one additonal passenger. Nothing about a student.

It was probably a bus that goes to rondevous with another bus in PG County that transports special needs students home from various facilities for the weekend. There are some students in the county who attend schools for the deaf and blind and autism.

and I learned something new today. I knew they had schools for special needs students that they stay there during the week, but I had no idea the buses actually transported them back and forth. I always thought the parents were responsible for the transportation. Thanks for the info.
