As of July 2017, HCPSS launched this online request, review, and response system to streamline our MPIA process. To facilitate a timely response to your MPIA request, please fill out the form below. All requests require valid contact information for purposes of processing.

See Frequently Asked Questions for more information on the MPIA process and associated fees. How Do I Submit a Request? contains additional instructions and options to submit an MPIA via email or mail.
We encourage you to first review the content of the HCPSS website, the Howard County Board of Education’s BoardDocs website, the Maryland State Department of Education’s Maryland Report Card, and the Request Log in this tracking system for commonly requested information and readily available documents.
All users are expected to exhibit civil behavior in accordance with Policy 1000 Civility when submitting an MPIA request through the public portal. Entries may be summarized to include the requester's specific document requests and legally protected information (such as personally identifiable information of a student) or personal, defamatory, and malicious content removed at the discretion of the school system before posting publicly.
