William Floyd School District opens comment period for 2024-25 safety plan


| WFHS

The William Floyd School District has announced the availability of its Districtwide Safety Plan and Emergency Remote Instruction Plan for the 2024-25 school year. This initiative, mandated by the Project SAVE Law (Safe Schools Against Violence in Education: Commissioner of Education Regulation 155.17), aims to ensure the safety, health, and security of students, faculty, and staff.

The plan has been developed with input from various employee groups, the Suffolk County Police Department, the Office of Homeland Security, and the Mastic, Mastic Beach, and Center Moriches Fire Departments.

In compliance with New York State law, a 30-day comment period is now open for residents to share their comments or questions regarding the plan. Michael Stam, Director of Human Resources at William Floyd School District, will be receiving feedback via email at mstam@wfsd.k12.ny.us.

For those interested in reviewing the details of the safety plan or recapping emergency response training from the previous school year (2023-24), links are provided on the district's website.
