Megan's Law Resources

In accordance with the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act ("Megan's Law"), the Board of Education supports the New York State Department of Criminal Justice Service (DCJS) in its effort to inform the community in certain circumstances of the presence of individuals with a history of sex offenses, particularly against children, in the school vicinity. This policy is enacted in order to minimize the possibility that the sex offender will come in contact with school-age children, and to assist law enforcement agencies in preventing further criminal activity from occurring. Furthermore, the district shall cooperate with local police authorities and the local community in promoting and protecting the safety and well being of its students.
