Area Lawmakers Call for Passage of “Alyssa’s Law” to Require Silent Alarms in Public Schools

February 18, 2020 by helpdesk1

Area lawmakers held a press conference last week to call for every school in the state to have silent alarms in case of an active shooter or other emergency. The event marked the second anniversary of the Parkland school shooting in Florida that left 17 dead. Rockland and Westchester state senator David Carlucci said “Alyssa’s Law’s” requirement for silent alarms would help keep things orderly in case of an emergency, instead of inducing panic…

Rockland assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee, who sponsors the assembly version of the bill, said thoughts and prayers are not enough to protect students…

“Alyssa’s Law” is named for 14 year-old Alyssa Alhadeff, one of the victims at Parkland. Alyssa was 16 year-old Rockland resident Jadyn Turner’s cousin. Jadyn said school shootings happen far too often…

“Alyssa’s Law” has bills in the Senate and Assembly, they are both being discussed in committees and have not yet come to their floors for a vote.
