2024-2025 District-Wide Safety Plan
Changes to the State Requirements for 2024-2025 Safety Plans
On Monday, July 15, 2024, the State Board of Regents approved proposed updates to Section 155.17 of the Laws of New York, establishing additional amendments not included in the announced changes a few months prior. The revisions to these amendments were made as a result of feedback from stakeholders. The changes, outlined in this memo, were put into effect on July 31, 2024.
As the 2024-2025 Safety Plan created by the District was already in the 30-day window for public review and comment, we were advised to complete the process and approve the plan, as is, at the August 20, 2024 Board of Education Meeting in order to meet the September 1, 2024 compliance deadline. Subsequent to this action, we have been asked to revise the plan to include the required changes, open a new 30-day window for public comments, and approve the final document.
2024-2025 DIstrict-Wide Safety Plan Update - Draft
The proposed plan, contained above, has been reviewed and approved by our District-level Safety Team and is open for public comment between September 3, 2024 and October 2, 2024. Comments on the plan may be submitted using the form below.
A public forum will be held on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, and absent necessary changes, the Board of Education will take action to approve this revised plan at the same meeting.
