FIRE SAFETY REPORT – CHANGES

On Tuesday, November 17th the attached memo was distributed to school leaders: Fire Drills Clarifications Memo

On Friday, December 4, 2020, a revised PUBLIC SCHOOL FIRE-SAFETY REPORTING FORM was published.

• The revised form eliminates reporting of the monthly evacuation fire drills as described in the NYS Fire Code. This reflects NYSED’s clarifying conversation with the NYS Department of State, which promulgates the fire code. As a result of this conversation, monthly fire drills are no longer required.
