Baltimore County Public Schools To Add 5 Minutes To School Day Next Year

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- All Baltimore County Public Schools are set to have their school schedule extended by five minutes for the 2018-2019 school year.

This comes after the Maryland State Department of Education granted Baltimore County schools an eight-hour waiver from the state requirement of 1,170 high school instructional hours.

The school district said start and end times for all schools will be announced by the end of the 2017-2018 school year.
