Prince George's County Public Schools transportation and bus-tracking disruption

Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland experienced transportation and bus-tracking problems beginning Aug. 25, 2026. About 10,000 students initially lacked bus assignments, and unusually high usage temporarily disrupted the Chipmunk app that morning; the district said the app was restored by midday. The initial assignment backlog cleared, but parents still reported missing or misrouted buses and inaccurate tracking Sept. 25. The continuing routing problems have not been shown to be fully resolved and are not attributed to a cyberattack.
