Safe Schools
We are very pleased to announce that the New York State Education Department, in collaboration with the New York State Police, the New York State Department of Criminal Justice Services, the New York State Department of Homeland Security, and the Governor's Office, have launched a new website: www.safeschools.ny.gov
On this page, you will find information specifically tailored to First Responders, Parents, and School Administrators and Staff related to school safety and climate. For your convenience, you may watch a short Webinar, which can be accessed at the top of the homepage explaining the New York State School Safety Improvement Team, the availability of a 10% funding incentive for participatory districts, the benefit to submitting school safety plans as well as partnering with local community responders, and work that is aid-eligible. Additionally, this website will be regularly updated to provide current and crucial information related to school safety.
We hope that you will take the time to utilize this new and excellent resource.
Thank you.
