Safe Storage Parent Notification

By law, Michigan school districts are now required to send information home to parents and caregivers annually on the safe storage of firearms. This is in accordance with the “Safe Storage Laws,” MCL 28.429, MCL 380.1313a, and MCL 380.1313b. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services provided this information to the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) for distribution.

Michigan’s safe storage law requires firearms to be locked and unloaded when minors are present in a home. Guns must be secured with a locking device or stored in a locked container. This law is designed to prevent accidents, injuries, and tragedies by keeping firearms out of the hands of children.
