Establishes active shooter drills in educational institutions
This bill requires all public and private K-12 schools in New York (excluding colleges/universities) to conduct at least 12 mandatory safety drills annually. Specifically, schools must hold eight evacuation drills (four using fire escapes where available), four emergency attack drills (including two lock-down and two active shooter drills), and additional after-hours or summer drills. Drills must occur at varying times of day, with two active shooter drills annually, and schools may request guidance from state safety teams. The mandate applies immediately upon enactment, focusing on structured emergency response training for students.
