Bill > A10616

This bill directs the Commissioner of Education to establish a statewide school safety tip line. The tip line will allow students and others to report information related to incidents of students causing harm to the physical or mental health of another student or school employee, or a threat of such harm. The bill outlines the requirements for operating the tip line, including protecting the personally identifiable information of the person reporting, procedures for logging reports, and referral of information to school districts or law enforcement. The bill also requires every public school building to display signs advertising the tip line.
