Bronxville board adopts districtwide safety plan, clarifies after‑school responsibilities
Summary
The board adopted the 2025–26 districtwide safety plan at the July 8 meeting, noting a new requirement clarifying responsibilities for 'after school annex' programs and a policy threshold limiting spaces to no more than 88 degrees under extreme heat.
The Bronxville Union Free School District Board of Education voted July 8 to adopt the districtwide safety plan for 2025–26 after a required public hearing.
Board members said the plan, which has been posted for at least 30 days, updates required language related to shelter‑in‑place protocols and adds a clarification for what the state calls an “after school annex” — the term describes any programs that run outside typical school hours and require a designated person in charge to ensure participants know emergency exits and procedures.
The meeting record notes the plan has been posted since June 1. The board also discussed the state’s requirement regarding extreme heat, summarized in the plan as a threshold that employees and students must not occupy spaces above 88 degrees during extreme‑heat conditions.
No members of the public provided comment during the hearing. The board moved to adopt the safety plan and approved it by voice vote.
The adopted safety plan will be posted in accordance with state requirements.
