Web Site Development

The BCPS web team is responsible for:

• The design and maintenance of the BCPS district web site and all offices hosted on it.
• Coordinating and assisting school webmasters with school web site development.
• The development of internal and external web-based applications.

The BCPS district web site is a coordinated effort between the BCPS web team and the Office of Communications and other offices. It provides easy access to a vast amount of information about the system including school status updates, event notification and coverage, Board of Education meeting resources and much more. Our collective goal is to allow our visitors the quickest route to obtain information about virtually any aspect of the school system.

School web sites are developed and maintained by school webmasters. The school webmaster must be an employee of BCPS and must be designated by the principal of the school for which they are developing the site. The BCPS web team provides support and assistance in their web site development efforts.

The web team is also responsible for the development of public and employee-only web-based applications. These applications are designed to make information that was once only accessible by telephone and paper available at the click of a mouse. Through the development of these applications, we are continually working to provide more information to the public while reducing the amount of manual effort it takes to provide this information.
