Beginning this school year, Michigan law (MCL 380.1313b) requires every school district, public school academy, and nonpublic school to provide families with information about the safe storage of firearms. The law further directs the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) to develop and publish an official informational notice—available in English, Spanish, and Arabic—by October 1, 2025, for schools to distribute.
As of today, the State has not yet provided school districts with the required communication. In the absence of this direction from MDE, CLICK HERE to read a letter from Superintendent Walmsley regarding Gun Safety and Storage.
