  920. Public schools; infestation of bedbugs (Cimex lectularius). 1.
  In a city school district having a population of  one  million  or  more
  inhabitants, the principal of each public school shall provide immediate
  notification  to  parents,  persons in parental relation or guardians of
  potentially affected students attending the school, disclosing a finding
  relating to the infestation  of  bedbugs  (Cimex  lectularius)  in  such
  school;  provided,  however,  that  if  pursuant  to  regulations of the
  commissioner it is determined that any infestation is contained within a
  discrete area, the principal may limit  such  notification  to  parents,
  persons  in  parental  relationship  or  guardians  of  all  potentially
  affected students within  such  area,  and  shall  advise  the  parents'
  association of the scope of such notification.
2. Along with the notification required pursuant to subdivision one of
  this  section,  the  principal  of such public school shall also include
  information regarding proper procedures to prevent further  infestations
  at  the school and to prevent the transfer of bedbugs from the school to
  the residences of students. Such information shall be developed  by  the
  board of education in consultation with other city agencies and shall be
  available in various languages as deemed necessary.
3.  The  principal  shall  ensure  that  the bedbug infestation at the
  school is properly addressed in the most effective and safe manner.
