Thanks to all of the dedicated leaders from throughout Wicomico County Public Schools who committed their Thursday to taking part in the School Safety Summit, held at James M. Bennett High. The summit was put on by the Department of School Climate and Safety,, and was led by Tara O'Barsky, Director of School Climate & Safety, and members of her team.

The day's focus was on the first of Superintendent of Schools Dr. Micah Stauffer's strategic priorities: School Climate & Safety. Participants learned more about:

Physical Safety Layers (Preparing a Safe Physical Environment)
Setting the Foundation for Psychological Safety (Building a Strong Social Environment)
Tiered Response to Psychological Safety (Ensuring a Strong Attentive Environment)

Our schools and school system are preparing for a great 2025-2026 school year with safe learning environments that support learning, student achievement and engagement, a high-performing workforce, and ample opportunity for family and community engagement.
