A memorial will be held Oct. 10 to remember the late teenager, who disappeared from his school in 2013.
More than 21,000 alarms will be placed at schools across the city, at a cost of $5.55 million.
Vanessa Fontaine will join Sen. Charles Schumer at the speech in support of Avonte's Law.
The new "audible alarms bill" requires the city to examine schools to see where alarms are necessary.
Assemblyman Matthew Titone introduced a bill to require insurance companies to pay for the GPS devices.
The DOJ said it would fund the devices after Sen. Schumer proposed "Avonte's Law" last week.
The devices would be voluntary and designed for parents of children who have a tendency to "bolt."
