Gun Safety Advocacy

One of the District’s top priorities is to provide students and staff with a safe educational environment, which includes an environment free from gun violence. Your proactive efforts in securing firearms and ammunition are vital to keep  children safe.

An Amendment to the state Firearms Act, effective February 2024, makes it a crime to improperly store or leave a firearm unattended in the  home when someone  knows or reasonably should know a minor is, or is likely to be, on the premises. Any unattended firearms must be unloaded and locked with a locking device or stored in a locked box or container. For more information please visit Health and Human Services Firearm Safety.

Each of our schools have a limited amount of firearm locks available in the office to help our families comply with the law and to keep our students safe. For more information, please contact your building’s main office, the Administration Building at 517-706-5002, or the Director of Safety and Security. We invite you to take advantage of this opportunity to enhance firearm safety measures at home.
