Each school has a safety plan in place that defines the normal operation of the site and establishes protocols and procedures for addressing emergency incidents in the school. In addition, each school has a school safety committee that meets on a monthly basis to address ongoing safety concerns and develop safety procedures and prevention and information strategies and programs.
A vital component of emergency readiness is the School Safety Plan and Building Response Team (BRT). In accordance with New York State Education Law Section 2801-a, all school buildings must have a “building-level emergency response plan” (School Safety Plan) that is updated annually, and a “building-level emergency response team” (Building Response Team). The Building Response Team (BRT) is a school-based team that is activated to manage health and safety incidents or emergencies.
As per Chancellor’s Regulation A-414, the School Safety Committee shall be comprised of the following individuals: Principal / Designee of every program operating within the building; U.F.T. Chapter Leader; Custodial Engineer/Designee; In-house School Safety Agent Level III/Designee; NYPD Precinct Commanding Officer/Designee;Parent Association President/Designee; Dietician/Designee of food services for the site; Representative of the Student Body; FDNY LiaisonAny other person or persons deemed essential by the committee.

DOE Parking Permit Application
School-based DOE parking permits expire on November 1. You should inform your CSA, UFT, and DC 37 (Local 372) staff to apply for parking permits through the DOE’s parking permit application self-service portal, beginning September 13 through October 4; note that the portal works best in Chrome. Once your staff submits their application through the portal, the DOE will deliver parking permits to your school by November 1. The DOE parking permits may only be distributed after you have collected the expired parking permits from your staff. The following types of parking permits are available to staff in these unions, if there are DOT-designated, on-street parking spaces at their school:
On-Street (OS) Parking: CSA members
On-Street General (OSG) Parking: UFT and DC 37 (Local 372) members; and
Itinerant On-Street (OSI) Parking: CSA and UFT members.
Please note that On-Street (OS) and On-Street General (OSG) parking permits are school-specific (i.e., both the OS and OSG parking permits will specify the school name, and the designated streets for parking); school-based staff who work at more than one school may be issued an Itinerant On-Street (OSI) permit (if eligible), to be used at assigned schools with available DOT-designated, street-parking spaces. You should also note that there will not be an increase in the number of parking spaces available at school sites, as a result of issuing DOE parking permits. Therefore, all DOT-designated, street-parking spaces will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
