At their regular meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 13, the Niskayuna Central School District Board of Education adopted the updated 2025-26 District Wide Safety Plan. The changes are related to automated external defibrillator (AED) equipment and school safety training as part of Cardiac Emergency Response Plans. They follow Desha’s Law which was signed by Governor Hochul on July 25, 2025. Initial changes required by this law were adopted within building-level emergency plans prior to the beginning of the school year.
The district held a 30-day public comment period before going back to the board for approval. The board must submit the plan to the State Education Department by Tuesday, Jan. 20.
