Bill > S08784

This bill amends the education law to establish requirements for the number of assistant principals to be assigned to schools in the New York City school district. It mandates that each elementary school have at least one assistant principal, each middle and high school have at least two assistant principals, and additional assistant principals be assigned to larger schools or as deemed appropriate by the chancellor to ensure student safety and proper school management. The bill also specifies that assistant principals are responsible for the safe operation of the school when the principal is absent, and may be required to participate in training or staff development activities.
