In June 2018, the School Safety Subcabinet was established (Chapter 30, Acts of 2018).
The Subcabinet is responsible for the establishment of a safe school information and best practices clearinghouse, and administers the Safe Schools Fund. To provide a comprehensive, coordinated approach to school safety, the Subcabinet collaborates not only with local school systems, but also with law enforcement agencies, State and local government agencies, community organizations, parents, and other interested groups.
