The Baltimore City Public School System (BCPSS) is a public school district in the state of Maryland, United States, that serves the youth of city of Baltimore (in distinction to the county of Baltimore).
The BCPSS was part of the Baltimore City Government but became separate from the government in 1997 when the state took control of the school system.
