Please serve all subpoenas by emailing a copy of the subpoena to: OGCintake@mcpsmd.org.
MCPS will respond to a subpoena for student records within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed forty-five (45) calendar days, in accordance with COMAR 13A.08.02.13.
With respect to subpoenas for MCPS school professionals to testify in private disputes (e.g. family law matters), MCPS’ practice and preference is for such professionals not to become involved in a private dispute because they must maintain a good working relationship with all parents/guardians and requesting them to testify may undermine their relationship with a student’s parents/guardians. Service of a witness subpoena forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the professional’s court appearance date will allow MCPS adequate time to process the request and make necessary staffing arrangements.
