Safety with Dignity details policy recommendations made by the Mayor's Leadership Team on School Climate and Discipline (Leadership Team).The Leadership Team is a one-year task force that was launched by Mayor Bill de Blasio in February 2015 with the mission of developing recommendations to enhance the well-being and safety of students and staff in the City's public schools, while minimizing the use of suspensions, arrests and summonses.
The recommendations of the Behavioral Health Task Force focus on ensuring that, when appropriate, individuals with behavioral health needs: 1) do not enter the criminal justice system in the first place; 2) if they do enter, that they are treated outside of a jail setting; 3) if they are in jail, that they receive treatment that is therapeutic rather than punitive in approach; and 4) that, upon release, they are connected to effective services. This plan sets out concrete and immediate next steps, a forward path to address those issues not yet ready for implementation, and the vehicle to ensure expeditious and effective operations and reliable assessments of what is working, at what cost, and with what benefit.
