BCPS PLAN A

Happy new year to you as we look forward to 2024 being an amazing year in Baltimore County Public Schools, the 22nd largest school district in the nation with 111,000+ students and nearly 10,000 teachers.

The Education Foundation has set goals and many New Year’s resolutions to foster our support for the 176 schools, programs, and centers and all of our school community members. In the new year, we will increase the number of, and the amount of, grant funds awarded to teachers and schools for innovative programs.

We will increase the number of scholarships available to graduating seniors, and we will introduce new fundraising events to keep the shelves and bins stocked at the Exchangeree: Gizmos & Gadgets Galore for the academic success and the health and physical well-being of our students. To do this, we need your help.
