BILL NUMBER:S7407
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to requiring community district education councils to establish safety hazard advisory review committees
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill would allow require Community District Education councils in New York City Department of Education to establish safety hazard advi- sory review committees.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 adds a new section, 2590-e to the education law to requiring community district education councils to establish safety hazard advi- sory review committees.
Justification
Community District Education Councils were created to give the parents of the community a voice as Mayoral Control of the schools was estab- lished. The councils have been a mechanism for the community and parent groups to express concern about a particular policy directly to the Department of Education. This bill would allow these councils to set up a safety hazard review committees to review conditions along stop routes to schools. These committees would be set up by the CEC's to review variances submitted by individual parents. The committee would review the variance and submit its findings for the Department of Education. This would give the Department of Education a community point of view about hazardous conditions along routes to and from school.
