Jaclyn Bruner had no idea water fountains in College Park’s Hollywood Elementary School were shut off until she heard from her five-year-old son’s kindergarten teacher.
“A note from the classroom teacher said our water bottle shipment is late and you need to make sure and send them with extra water. And we were like ‘what are you talking about?” Bruner said. “That’s when it came to parents’ attention last year.”
Bruner, the president of Hollywood’s Parent Teacher Association, is one of several parents in Prince George’s County Public Schools with ongoing concerns about the county’s communication about clean water accessibility. Parents allege communication from PGCPS has been unreliable so far.
