The location of Prince George’s County government has long been in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, though many county agencies have long left the sleepy town behind. Now, its school system could be on its way out, too.
State lawmakers in Annapolis have filed legislation on behalf of the county that would direct the school system to begin studying the idea of relocating its headquarters, which is currently an aging building outside of the downtown core of Upper Marlboro.
Two of the main criteria the school system would be directed to look at include central location in the county, as well as access to public transportation and mass transit. That would seem to rule Upper Marlboro out and bring another county agency to Largo. School leaders don’t deny it.
“I think ideally, the Largo area would be great because we’re looking for a center point in the county and I think that’s why you see a lot of other agencies that represent the county that are in that Largo area,” said Superintendent Millard House II.
