 Student Voice

​The Maryland Center for School Safety (MCSS) offers many different ways for students to participate in the school safety discussion.

​MCSS Student Focus Group

The Maryland Center for School Safety (MCSS) Student Focus Group was created to ensure that Maryland youth are given the opportunity to provide feedback and recommendations regarding school safety issues that are pertinent to them. Members must be in Middle School or High School. They must serve a six month term and, during that period, attend at least 75% of all monthly meetings in order to be considered for reappointment.

Mission:

As a group of diverse students from across the state, the members of the MCSS Student Focus Group address pertinent school safety issues by: 

  • Representing the perspective of their region by closely interacting with the student member of the Advisory Board to the Subcabinet of the Maryland Center for School Safety 
  • Helping to devise marketing tactics for and provide feedback on existing MCSS initiatives 
  • Surveying their county's/city's students on topics deemed by MCSS to shape future initiatives 
  • Acting as a pilot group for implementing new ideas
