Department of School Safety

Mission

The Department of School Safety will effectively utilize all available resources to establish a safe, secure, and orderly teaching, learning, and working environment to promote personal well-being for the total school community and maximize student achievement.

The Compass: Our Pathway to Excellence

Focus Area 2: Safe and Supportive Environment

Baltimore County Public Schools is committed to fostering safe, secure, and supportive learning and working environments in which students and staff have the resources and supports necessary to succeed. This will be accomplished by continuously improving safety and security measures in all schools and offices, expanding available social-emotional supports, engaging students and staff in activities that promote positive school and workplace climates, and encouraging relationships that are mutually respectful and supportive.

Support Model

Each zone has been assigned a school safety manager and a back-up manager. These managers assist and provide support to schools for all school safety related concerns. Responsibilities of the managers include consulting with schools and police regarding emergency response, assisting schools in the development and completion of emergency plans, monitoring fire and scenario-based drill completion, monitoring bullying, harassment or intimidation data, coordinating meetings between administrators and school resource officer program personnel, and addressing concerns related to the visitor identification system and student/staff identification system. In addition, each manager is responsible for addressing specific central office or systemwide programs and initiatives.
