Salary Guidelines

In accordance with the mandated direction from the State Superintendent, school buildings will be closed for the remainder of the school year, in order to maintain the health and safety of our staff and students. 
 
Due to the school closures, please submit certification documents to the Office of Certification via email to certunit@bcps.org.  Electronic transcripts must be sent directly from the college or university to certunit@bcps.org.  Certification representatives will be monitoring this email account and responding to inquiries.  The timeline for reviewing all certification and reimbursement requests has not changed.  Please allow up to 6-8 weeks for your request to be reviewed.
