The PGCPS Student Safety Task Force is undertaking a thorough and comprehensive review of policies, processes, and practices that impact the safety of our children enrolled in the Prince George’s County Public Schools. As an independent body, we are examining and assessing current standards of operation related to the protection of school children. In the final report, we will provide recommendations to enhance current procedures and incorporate best practices to ensure student safety.

If you are a current or former student, parent/guardian, community member, current or former employee, or interested stakeholder who would like to submit comments to the Task Force, you can do so below. The survey will be available from April 6 to April 15, 2016. This is a survey to solicit comments and does not replace your responsibility to report suspected abuse. To report suspected abuse and neglect, please call the Prince George’s County Department of Social Services at 301-909-2450.

The Task Force appreciates your assistance and respects your commitment to student safety in our schools. We will read every comment and review each carefully as we develop recommendations for submission to CEO, Dr. Kevin Maxwell. The findings and recommendations will be released in a public document at the conclusion of the Task Force’s review.
