Ed. Art. §7-1502(g)(2) directs MCSS to develop a website, which includes searchable school safety resources. Content on this page is reviewed and refreshed throughout the calendar year to remain current and responsive.
School safety topics encompass emergency preparedness, bullying prevention, internet safety, fire drills, campus security, mental health awareness, and substance abuse prevention. Resources for dealing with school safety topics are crucial for raising awareness, fostering preparedness, and empowering individuals to respond effectively to potential threats. They enhance community involvement, promote a safe environment, and create a collective effort toward the well-being of students, staff, and the community.
The Maryland Center for School Safety (MCSS) disseminates information from state and national school safety organizations. MCSS aims to empower our community by embracing school safety topics.
