Safe & Secure Schools
School Safety and Security Coordinators
MCIU 23 is dedicated to assisting school administrators navigate through the challenging world of safety and security. Our goal is to help you understand how to solve your safety and security issues so you can stay focused on providing excellent education to your students. We facilitate countywide School Safety and Security Job Alike group meetings once a month or more as needed, to provide trainings and to share best practices and legal requirements with members from each of our Montgomery County School Districts as well as our Career and Technical Centers. This group allows district representatives to come together and discuss current challenges, obstacles and solutions in our ever-changing world of safety and security. In addition, we provide support and guidance to all non-public schools throughout Montgomery County.
