New Rochelle school safety plan posted for 30‑day public review; adoption slated for Aug. 14

The New Rochelle City School District presented its 2025–26 districtwide school safety plan to the Board of Education on June 17 and opened a 30‑day public review period, the superintendent said. The district listed the review window as June 18 through Aug. 1 and set an adoption date of Aug. 14.

Why it matters: The safety plan identifies staff roles and responsibilities for school‑year operations and is reviewed annually with district facilities and security leadership. The district is seeking public feedback during the review window before final adoption by the board.

What the board was told: Superintendent Dr. Reynolds said the 2025–26 plan updates names of personnel responsible for specific safety functions and that the plan was reviewed by the director of facilities, the director of security and the superintendent’s cabinet. The board packet notes the plan timeline on page 4.

Public input and next steps: The board asked the public to submit questions and recommendations to the board clerk during the review period. After the review closes Aug. 1, the administration will consider submitted suggestions and present a final plan for board adoption on Aug. 14.

Process notes: The district emphasized that the plan is intended as a framework; site‑level procedures and staffing can change during the year. The presentation at the June 17 meeting started the statutory and board‑policy review cycle rather than effecting any immediate operational change.
