Working Together to Keep Students Safe

Creating a safe, supportive learning environment is a top priority across our schools. That commitment extends beyond the classroom and into our homes and neighborhoods. One key step families can take to promote school safety is to store firearms securely.

• Safe storage reduces risk of unintentional injury, theft, and misuse
• Most school-related firearm incidents involve unsecured firearms from the home
• Taking small steps at home can have a big impact on school safety

We’ve added a fact sheet developed by the National Center for School Safety to help families understand practical, affordable storage options and why they matter.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in keeping our schools and students safe.
