Baltimore County Public Schools offers employees tuition reimbursement for the purpose of certification and educational enrichment. The school system will reimburse up to nine (9) semester hours per fiscal year for staff represented by TABCO, CASE, AFSCME, and OPE. For employees represented by ESPBC, up to 12 credits per fiscal year are reimbursable. The reimbursement cycle is from July 1st to June 30th.
You must complete a Tuition Reimbursement Form. There is one form for all BCPS employees, provided in the documents below. The rate as of July 1, 2017 is $300 per semester hour. The request for reimbursement must be submitted within 30 calendar days of when the grade is available at the college or university.
