WHAT IS The Student Safety Act?
The Student Safety Act creates accountability and transparency over police behavior in our schools. Specifically, the Student Safety Act…
 |
- Requires the Department of Education to report to the City Council on the numbers of suspensions, expulsions, arrests and student-police altercations in schools. The City Council can then track and monitor whether discipline is being enforced equally for all students.
- Provides lawmakers and the public vital access to raw data on school disciplinary actions.
- Increases transparency at the NYPD School Safety Division and the Department of Education.
- Expands the jurisdiction of the Civilian Complaint Review Board to include School Safety Agents.
