Blueprint for Maryland's Future
BCPS has developed an implementation plan for the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future and is collaborating with county government partners and other Local Education Agencies (LEAs) throughout the state to ensure that students, staff and families can take advantage of the most current information regarding the implementation of Blueprint. The Blueprint is a multi-billion-dollar investment in Maryland schools and seeks to "transform Maryland's early childhood, primary, and secondary education systems to the levels of high-performing systems around the world."

What is Parent University
Parent University is offered through the BCPS Office of Family and Community Engagement, which we affectionately call FACE! We provide tools and resources to BPCS families to support learning at home. In the past, before social-distancing, one of the ways we offered these resources was through in-person workshops hosted by community members and schools. We also have a large collection of online resources that are available as we navigate through this incredibly unique time in our lives. We hope you enjoy what we have to share.
