The testimony advocates for lowering the eligibility number for safety guards in non-public schools, including Catholic, Yeshiva, and Islamic schools. The speaker emphasizes the need for increased security due to recent incidents and the lack of resources in many non-public schools to provide adequate security.

  • The speaker's school experienced security issues after October 7th, with students being accosted outside the school.
  • Many non-public schools rely on volunteers or limited staff for security, unlike public schools with dedicated school safety officers.
  • The speaker argues it's the government's responsibility to provide security for all students in New York City, not just those in public schools.
