The Maryland Center for School Safety was established as an independent unit of State government in July 2013 (Chapter 372, Acts of 2013).

To provide a coordinated and comprehensive policy for school safety in Maryland, the Center collaborates with local school systems, law enforcement agencies, State and local government, community organizations, parents, and other groups. With those partners, the Center disseminates information on best practices, programs, and resources; provides technical assistance and training; collects, analyzes, and integrates Statewide data; and promotes interagency efforts to ensure safe schools.

The Center's Executive Director is appointed by the Governing Board (Code Education Article, secs. 7-1501 through 7-1505).

GOVERNING BOARD

The State Superintendent of Schools, the Maryland Association of Boards of Education, and the Public School Superintendents' Association of Maryland each appoint one member; and four members serve ex officio (Code Education Article, secs. 7-1501 through 7-1505).
