Supplemental Pay
Effective July 1, 2023, the annual MCPS National License (NL) supplement is $2,125 for eligible MCEA unit members. The NL supplement will remain in effect as long as you submit a valid national license/certification each time the current one expires.
If you are new to MCPS, you must submit a copy of your valid national license/certificate that includes the expiration date to the staffing coordinator hiring you so that your initial salary lane placement is accurate – do not submit this form (coming soon).
If you’re a current employee who now holds an acceptable national license/certificate, you MUST submit this form (coming soon) along with a copy of your current valid NL that includes expiration date, following the information and instructions below:
Submit this original signed form with a copy of your valid national license/certificate that includes the expiration date (coming soon).
