  • Strengthen family-school relationships and continue to expand civic, business, and community partnerships that support improved student achievement
  • Foster and sustain systems that support and improve employee effectiveness, in partnership with MCPS employee organizations

MCPS is committed to building and maintaining strong relationships with a broad range of stakeholders, including, civic, business, and community groups in support of student achievement and employee excellence. Through the creation of dynamic relationships that advance MCPS’ mission to provide a high-quality, world-class education that ensures success for every student through excellence in teaching and learning, MCPS is the essential catalysis for a countywide commitment to education. By recognizing the critical role external stakeholders play in MCPS, and the role MCPS plays in the broader community there is an infrastructure for shared responsibility and accountability.
