Join the School Board Safety and Wholeness Committee for their virtual meeting at 4 p.m. on Thursday, September 19.

The Safety and Wholeness Committee was formed to boost support and transparency on school safety, violence prevention, and student well-being. With devoted members, this committee will shape policies and initiatives to enhance student safety and well-being.

For more information on the meeting agenda and how to submit public comment, visit the Public Comment page.

Safety is our first priority. We take any threat, including those on social media, very seriously and fully investigate each one. Any student involved in these actions will face consequences outlined in school policy & law. 

We urge our students and community members to report threats or concerns to their school, City Schools Police, or the Baltimore Police Department. Contact City Schools Police at 410-396-8588 and 410-396-8589 or the Baltimore Police Department Telephone Reporting Unit (TRU) at 410-637-8849. 

Parents and guardians, please review responsible social media use with your students and monitor their online activities. If any student or family member needs support, we are here to help. You can talk to a trusted adult at your school or refer to City School's Health Services.

Progress: A Continued Trajectory of Growth on MCAP

Baltimore City Public Schools students continued a three-year run of improvement in their English Language Arts and math scores on the latest Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP). The proof is in the numbers, which include:

- Our growth in literacy more than tripled the results statewide.

- Our growth in math more than doubled the results statewide.

- Since the 2015-16 school year, our growth in literacy has nearly doubled that of Maryland overall.

The results indicate a rapid growth trajectory and reflect the hard work and unified focus of our students, staff, and families. We will keep pushing for more.
