Dear Parents and Guardians,

Michigan law (Public Act 258 of 2024) requires schools to provide families with information about the importance of safe firearm storage. This notification is part of a statewide effort to promote student safety and awareness of MCL 28.435 (Public Act 17 of 2023).

Please review the resources provided by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS): Safe Storage Resources for Families

These materials explain safe storage practices and provide guidance to help ensure firearms are secured properly, reducing the risk of accidental injury.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Ensuring the safety of our students and community is a shared responsibility.
