A 7091 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to establishing the Beacon School Pilot Program in New York city schools

This bill establishes the Beacon School Pilot Program for New York City public elementary and secondary schools. It transforms schools into community hubs offering after-school activities, academic support, violence prevention programs, and services for families and adults. Key provisions require each school to create a community advisory council with neighborhood input, address youth development and neighborhood safety, and leverage public/private funding to expand existing partnerships. The program aims to reduce gang and gun violence by providing structured opportunities for youth engagement and community cohesion, with the city providing annual funding matched by state appropriations.
