Mission
The Board of Education of Baltimore County
is committed to ensuring equity and excellence in education
by providing each student with an instructional environment
that nurtures potential and enhances academic success.
With this central mission in mind, the Board believes that
every student in the Baltimore County Public Schools K-12
who gives evidence of high achievement capabilities should
have access to high quality gifted and talented educational
services regardless of that student’s race/ethnicity,
gender, socio-economic status, geographical location, primary
language, or disability.
The Board believes that students with outstanding talents
perform or show the potential for performing at remarkably
high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of
their age, experience, or environment.
Outstanding talents are present in students from all cultural
groups, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human
endeavor. Therefore, the Board recognizes that the school
system should provide a continuum of appropriately differentiated
educational experiences and services kindergarten through
grade 12 that are research-based and aligned with the system’s
mission and goals.
