About the School Safety Subcabinet

The Maryland Safe to Learn Act of 2018 (Senate Bill 1265) was signed into law by Governor Hogan on April 10, 2018. It significantly altered and expanded the role of the Maryland Center for School Safety. The legislation established the School Safety Subcabinet and School Safety Advisory Board. 

The Subcabinet serves as the regulatory authority and governing board of the Center, and its members are identified in statute. Each member may have a designee to represent them in their absence. ​
