Since 2008 New York used a “School Violence Index” (SVI) comprised of a sum of weighted incidents divided by the school’s K-12 enrollment. Schools designated as persistently dangerous must submit to SED an Incident Reduction Plan explaining the steps to be taken to increase school safety. In order to be removed from the list, the school superintendent (or chief executive officer of a charter school) must petition the Commissioner of Education.
