A mandatory safety alert system designed to help private schools quickly notify parents and staff of emergencies has been reinstated in New York City, following its suspension during the pandemic. The program, which includes automated calls, texts, and emails, aims to improve communication in crises such as fires, medical emergencies, or security threats. Schools were previously required to participate but were exempted during the COVID-19 outbreak. Officials emphasize the system’s role in ensuring student safety and maintaining transparency with families.
