The rules approved Tuesday by the Regents were recommended by the Safe Schools Task Force, a group of law enforcement and state agencies that was commissioned a month after the Sandy Hook shootings to examine and recommend ways to enhance school safety. Historically, emergency planning in schools has centered on fire safety, with regular drills required each year to practice safe and orderly evacuation plans. Other safety recommendations to be implemented in the coming year include a streamlined process for reporting incidences of bullying and violence; expanded violence prevention training; and new policies around school bus security and safety equipment.
