GLPS shared information in the fall about Michigan's Safe Storage Laws, which is also available on the Student & School Safety page.  Chris Chester, our district's Supervisor of Student Safety, encourages families to do their part to support safe schools and a safe community.

To help protect Michigan’s youth and prevent firearm-related unintentional injuries, Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL) 28.429, Section 9 of 1927 PA 372 requires firearm owners to securely store firearms wherever minors are present or likely to be present. In accordance with the “Safe Storage Laws,” MCL 28.429, MCL 380.1313a, and MCL 380.1313b, school districts are required to provide parents and caregivers with information on the safe storage of firearms. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services provided this information to the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) for distribution. Specific resources required to be sent home to parents and caregivers include:

Additional resources and information can be found on MDE’s Safe Storage Law webpage. Questions may be directed to MDE’s Office of Health and Safety at MDE-OHS@Michigan.gov.
