Michigan's Safe Storage Laws
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.
2025 Designated Safe Routes to School - City of Grand Ledge
from the City of Grand Ledge website:
The City of Grand Ledge, Grand Ledge Police Department, and Grand Ledge Public Schools have partnered to identify "Safe Routes to School," which are walking routes enhanced with additional crossing guards, crosswalks, signs, and curb cuts. Students may find these common routes to be the safest and most direct way to school. Pedestrian crosswalk signs are placed along these commonly used safe routes to school. It is State Law that vehicles stop for pedestrians within the crosswalks. Please help your children become familiar with these routes.
K-12 students can identify routes closest to their homes using the interactive map below. Crossing guard locations are designated. Click here to download the Safe Routes to Schools map (PDF).
Thank you for keeping our school routes safe for students! Help us spread the word by sharing this with your neighbors and friends!
