Summary
At its Nov. 12 meeting the South Huntington Union Free School District Board of Education held a public hearing on the district's revised 2025 safety plan under the SAVE Act; the plan establishes a districtwide safety team and building-level emergency response plans, and the recap did not report a formal vote.
The South Huntington Union Free School District Board of Education held a public hearing on Nov. 12 on the district's revised 2025 districtwide school safety plan, Board President Nicholas Ziappetta said. The hearing was presented as compliant with the Safe Schools Against Violence in Education Act (SAVE).
According to Ziappetta, the plan creates a districtwide school safety team "responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining all provisions of our safety plan." He said the proposal "coordinates with our district wide emergency response team and includes individual building level emergency response plans for every school." The board opened the floor for public input as part of that hearing.
The hearing, as recapped by the president, outlined structural features required by SAVE and emphasized that each school will have a building-level emergency response plan coordinated through the districtwide team. The board's recap did not report a formal vote or adoption of the safety plan; after the hearing the meeting moved to new business.
Next steps were not specified in the recap provided by Ziappetta; the board may publish a final version or schedule a vote after considering input from the hearing.
