Public Invited To Fill Out BCPS Survey For Multi-Year Plan

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — The community is asked to participate in an online survey to provide feedback about addressing school overcrowding and other facility needs in Baltimore County Public Schools. Participants can provide input on options developed as part of the "Multi-Year Plan for All Schools", which may include redistricting, renovation, repurposing school buildings in different ways, new construction and more.

The brief survey will be available on the MYIPAS website through June 13 in the following languages: Arabic, Burmese, Chinese, English, French, Nepalese, Russian, Spanish, Urdu and Vietnamese.

“Involvement from the entire community is at the heart of this collaboration to create a long-term plan for equitable, effective and modern school facilities that will support high-quality education throughout the county for years to come,” BCPS Superintendent Dr. Darryl L. Williams said.

The purpose of the MYIPAS, which is coordinated by BCPS and the Baltimore County government, is to develop a long-range plan for identifying and prioritizing capital improvements to all schools. The first phase focused on recommendations for high schools. The second phase, which is currently underway, focuses on recommendations for elementary and middle schools as well as specialty schools and centers, based on assessment findings, public surveys, focus groups, and facility option development co-constructed with BCPS stakeholders and community members. Final recommendations are expected in the fall 2021.
