Great Neck Board adopts 2025–26 districtwide school safety plan after public hearing
Summary
The Great Neck Board of Education opened and closed a public hearing and voted unanimously on Aug. 28 to adopt the districtwide 2025–26 school safety plan and building emergency response plans after the plan was posted for public review.
The Great Neck Public Schools Board of Education on Aug. 28 held a required public hearing and voted unanimously to adopt the districtwide 2025–26 school safety plan and building‑level emergency response plans.
Why it matters: State and district procedures require public notice and a hearing before adoption of district safety plans; the plan had been posted on the district website on July 13 and made available for the required public review period.
What happened at the meeting: The board opened the public hearing on the 2025–26 school safety plan, took no public questions during the hearing, closed the hearing and then moved the plan to a formal adoption vote under agenda item 8A. The motion to adopt passed 5‑0.
Public access and next steps: The administration said the plan and building emergency response plans are available on the district website. The board did not receive substantive public questions during the hearing and recorded no amendments to the plan at the Aug. 28 meeting.
Ending: The adopted safety plan will guide building‑level emergency procedures for the 2025–26 school year, and the district said it will present highlights of summer facility work and other readiness items at the Sept. 17 board meeting.
