Here are the top stories in Glen Burnie today:

1. Anne Arundel School District: Anne Arundel County school bus drivers and attendants are one step closer to a $5 per hour wage increase after the Maryland district’s school board approved the budget supplement needed to fund it. The board of education voted in favor of $7.4 million to provide the school district’s transportation contractors with enough funding for the wage hike, as presented by Anne Arundel County Public Schools Superintendent George Arlotto.
2. Halloween Happenings: There's no doubt that the spooky season is one of the many favorite holidays. As kids and the older crowds prepare for all the fun, our fur friends are excited too! Some unique train fun lies ahead this month. Residents can take their pup for a ride on the rails or catch the train to a pumpkin patch at one Maryland museum. Locals can also enjoy an evening canoeing on a serene creek. (Glen Burnie Patch)
