Safety is not a police job, it is a village job, and the village is here today,\u201d said Mayor Eric Adams Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program will cost $9 million and will be available in 138 schools that were identified based on safety factors like the number of suspensions, incidents and chronic absenteeism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials say the program is an additional resource for students struggling to reach their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey have children in their schools who are brilliant. They are every bit as talented as every other child, they just need the additional support and the support is going to be provided through Project Pivot,\u201d said city schools Chancellor David Banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program is part of a larger effort to take a holistic approach to reaching students across the five boroughs, especially Black and Brown children who face challenges at home and school. The program is expected to reach about 10,000 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStruggling Black children, they are named, they are shamed, they are really blamed for the societal failures and we attach those failures to them,\u201d said Susan L.
