On Thursday, February 6, 2020, the Maryland Board of Works will take up Guidelines that were to have been developed by December 1 of 2018.
~~~~~~~~~~
Maryland Chapter 31 of 2018 requires that:
On or before December 1, 2018, the Interagency Committee on School Construction
and the State Council on Child Abuse and Neglect jointly shall develop guidelines and
best practices for the assessment and modification of physical facilities and spaces to
reduce opportunities for child sexual abuse.
Beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, each county board shall develop policies and
procedures on the use and modification of physical facilities and spaces to reduce
opportunities for child sexual abuse.
IAC staff have worked with the State Center on Child Abuse and Neglect to develop the
attached guidelines and best practices. After adoption, these will be distributed to the LEAs
and placed on the IAC’s website.
