My wife, a teacher got this from her union. Didn't find the contents of this legislation that they were pushing in their email below, just the form to send to representatives.
Everyone deserves a safe workplace, free from threats and violence.
Recent tragic events around the country show how violent acts are an increasingly visible element in our education system, and too many school facilities contain real and persistent hazards to the health and safety of teachers, school-related professionals and students alike. It is essential to support legislation that assists school districts in identifying and mitigating potential safety problems in order to ensure a safe work/learning environment for all of their employees and the students that they serve.
Take action now at the NYSUT Member Action Center to tell lawmakers to support Workplace Violence for School District Employees legislation!
Chapter 82 of the Laws of 2006 established a statutory requirement that public employers develop and implement programs to prevent workplace violence. However, school districts were exempt under that statute in order to ascertain whether similar requirements were already effective under current law. After a thorough review, it is clear that it is necessary and appropriate to include school districts under this law.
