Includes a component on water safety in kindergarten through twelfth grade

This bill requires New York State schools to include water safety education for students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. It mandates that the state's education board ensure lessons cover identifying drowning risks, understanding safe behaviors for children and adults, and learning how to respond to water emergencies. The law gives the board flexibility to integrate these lessons into existing classes through methods like interactive assemblies or in-classroom activities. Once passed, the education board will create specific rules to guide how schools implement this new curriculum.
