This bill would require the NYPD to publish a transparency report on its plan to address and contain the risk of physical obstruction, physical injury, intimidation, and interferences at entrances to and exits from certain educational facilities in the city through the use of security perimeters and more.

This report will provide the council and the public with needed clarity regarding NYPD's approach to crowd control during protests occurring at certain educational facilities and require improved communication between the city, school administrators, and individuals exercising their rights to protest.
