Response Notes

Responsive to this request, under MPIA GP § 4-311, which states “a custodian shall deny inspection of a personnel record of an individual, including an application, a performance rating, or scholastic achievement information” we are unable to release the requested records for individual principals. Resumes in HCPSS’ possession are part of an individual employee’s personnel record collected with their application.
 

For your reference, while not a resume, educational and experience data on individual certificated staff are required to be reported to the Maryland State Department of Education. This file within a prior MPIA response contains data for all staff in the current school year, which could be sorted by position/title: https://mpia.hcpss.org/requests/2026-063

*Some request language is 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.

**Responses containing legally protected information available only to the person of interest are omitted from the above report.
