Police Motorcade Likely to Affect School Dismissals

Prince William County Schools announced that the motorcade for fallen Prince William County Police Officer Chris Yung may bring delays.

Police said that the motorcade will travel through much of the county between noon and 3:00 p.m. tomorrow.

"We know the route of the motorcade, but the exact timing and impacts are uncertain. All schools could experience some effects; 17 will likely be impacted," PWCS said on its webpage. "Early delays affecting high school buses can sometimes have a domino effect on later routes."

These schools include:

• Osbourn Park HS
• Benton MS
• Coles ES
• Bennett ES
• Marshall ES
• Gar-Field HS
• Hylton HS
• Stonewall Jackson HS
• Stonewall MS
• Sinclair ES
• Brentsville District HS
• Dumfries ES
• Triangle ES
• Graham Park MS
• Ashland ES
• Washington Reid ES
• Pattie ES

The school division said it will hold students at schools  as necessary until their buses are ready for dismissal.

"Parents should make flexible plans to meet young students. Cell phone on school buses will be permitted with driver permission, so students can report progress," they said.

PWCS advises parents to monitor the website and local news for updates throughout the day.

The service will be held Friday  at 10 a.m. at the Hylton Memorial Chapel and will be open to the public.

Following the funeral service, the planned route of the motorcade includes:

• Left onto Gideon Dr
• Right onto Dale Blvd
