Bill Heiser took over Baltimore County Public Schools on July 1 with a 100-day plan centered on stability, staff and community ties. One of Maryland’s largest districts was preparing for another school year under its fifth superintendent in 10 years. Formally selected June 22 and appointed June 25, Heiser told the BCPS community in a July 1 message that he was "deeply honored and grateful" to return to Team BCPS and serve the community.

At his first media availability on July 6, Heiser said he felt "responsibility, not pressure" as he stepped into the job. His early focus is keeping schools steady while the district moves into the new year, and the superintendent’s 100-day plan also centers on academic excellence.

During his first "Meet the Superintendent" session, Heiser shared priorities for the school year, listened to feedback from Team BCPS members and answered questions from attendees.
