Summary

The Wappingers Central School District Board of Education on Dec. 1 voted unanimously to appoint members of the districtwide school safety team as required by New York State regulations. The resolution cites the New York State Education Department’s amended regulation on school safety plans (section 155.17) and Education Law section 2801‑a, which requires annual appointment and a public comment period before adoption.
Board members said the committee includes a range of participants from central-office staff, building-level leadership, teachers, school safety personnel, bus drivers and monitors, the district’s bus vendor, BOCES representatives and local deputy sheriffs who often consult on safety matters. Board member Mister Morgan described the committee as "a very strong committee" and thanked staff for assembling the members.
