The Office of Human Capital is developing enhanced ways to make sure we capture accurate information that reflects how staff identify. If you have a preferred first name that you would like to be included in their data systems and associated staff reporting, please email HumanCapital@bcps.k12.md.us by Friday, January 31, 2020, with the subject: “Preferred Name” and include your preferred name in the body of the email. Although your given name may still be visible in different areas of the system, our intention is to incorporate preferred first names whenever possible.
