Effective July 1, 2025, the annual MCPS National License (NL) supplement is $2,500 for eligible MCEA unit members. The NL supplement will remain in effect as long as you submit a valid national license/certificate each time the current one expires.
If you are new to MCPS, you must submit a copy of your valid national license/certificate that includes the expiration date to the staffing coordinator hiring you so that your initial salary lane placement is accurate.
If you’re a current employee who now holds an acceptable national license/certificate, you MUST submit the Supplemental Pay Application with a copy of your valid national license/certificate that includes the expiration date.
Adjustment in pay will be prorated if you work less than full time
The effective date follows the salary advancement requests review and approval process. See our Salary Advancement page for details.
It is your responsibility to keep your Maryland Professional Credential and/or Maryland State Board of Examiners license valid and to submit a renewed national license/certificate when your current license/certificate expires. Otherwise, your supplement will be discontinued.
