Employment and Background Checks

Under Maryland law, not all gun-related charges automatically disqualify an individual from employment with a school system. For instance, a firearm-related offense involving a crime of violence would result in immediate disqualification. However, if a charge does not fall under the categories requiring automatic disqualification, City Schools undertakes a thorough review process, consistent with all applicable laws.

Please review Administrative Regulation GBN-RA (Procedures Guiding the Employment Cycle and Staffing Actions) on our criminal background check protocols. In addition, section 3.8 of the Baltimore City Public Schools Employee Handbook also addresses background check protocols.

School Leaders

Every school deserves the best school leaders. Our goal is to match high-quality principals and assistant principals with each of our schools and continue to support those leaders so they have what they need to grow and succeed.

City Schools also understands the importance of making sure that school communities are involved in the process of interviewing and selecting a school leader. That's why families, staff, and the community are informed and involved throughout the process. Learn more about the selection process.
