NY A01532

Establishes a Veteran Speaker Education Program within the Division of Veterans' Affairs to connect veteran speakers with New York schools for classroom visits about military service.

Requires the Division to develop an informational pamphlet distributed to school districts explaining the program and listing county-based Veteran Speakers Coordinators who recruit willing veterans.

Mandates the listing include veteran names, contact information, military service details (type, length, geographic areas, rank), and annual updates of participant availability.

Requires veterans to provide certified discharge papers proving honorable military service to participate in the program.

Makes participation voluntary for both teachers and veterans, with teachers responsible for determining speaker appropriateness based on student age and subject matter, and establishes procedures for teacher and student evaluations of speakers.
