Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and declares that in order to combat violence in our schools, residents of the state must have accurate information on the number and types of incidents occurring and where these incidents are taking place. This information must be made public so that parents are aware of the safety conditions within which their children learn and so that our civic lead- ers can institute meaningful reform. To help parents and the public understand and fully assess the problem of school crime and other serious disruptive incidents, the department of education must continue to enhance and improve upon the information on school safety data that is provided on the internet. By receiving this information, the public will be in a better position to analyze and comment upon any inconsistencies and to weigh in on proposed policy amendments. § 2. The education law is amended by adding a new section 2803 to read as follows: § 2803. DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT SCHOOL INCIDENT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. 1. THE DEPARTMENT SHALL MAKE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION FOUR OF THIS SECTION, REPORTS THAT REFLECT THE ENVIRONMENT OF CRIMINAL AND SERIOUSLY DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR IN SCHOOLS OPERATED BY THE DEPARTMENT. 2.
