The New York State Safe Schools Against Violence in Education (SAVE) law requires school districts to develop a school safety plan to prevent or minimize the effects of serious violent incidents, natural and man-made disasters, declared state disaster emergencies involving a communicable disease, local public health emergency declarations and other emergencies. Project SAVE is a comprehensive planning effort that addresses prevention, response and recovery with respect to a variety of emergencies in school districts.
The public comment period on the 2025-26 districtwide safety plan was open July 10-Aug. 14. However, due to a late requirement from the New York State Education Department, all school districts must now revise their plans to incorporate a new cardiac arrest annex law. As a result, CCS has updated its draft plan and reopened it for an additional 30-day public comment period.
If you have any questions or comments on the plan, please contact the district clerk or a Board of Education member.
