S 3782 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes active shooter drills in educational institutions

This bill requires all public and private K-12 schools (excluding colleges/universities) in New York to conduct 12 mandatory emergency drills annually. Specifically, schools must hold eight evacuation drills (four using fire escapes where available) and four emergency attack drills (including two active shooter drills). Drills must occur at varying times of day, with additional after-hours and summer school requirements for boarding schools. The bill mandates these specific procedures to ensure students can respond quickly during emergencies, with school safety teams providing recommendations upon request.
