Friend,

We hope you’re soaking up these last few weeks of summer! Before we know it, it’ll be the back-to-school season, and we’ll be gearing up for another long school year. But before that happens, we need to talk about something.

Many think school safety stops when the classrooms are closed for the summer — but that isn’t the case. Summer is one of the best times for schools to better prepare for school safety, and here are just a few examples:

• Implementing security systems and safety measures can be easier when the hallways aren’t as packed
• Summer means schools have ample time to train staff on new security protocols and technologies
• Budget time! Administrators can amend budgets to account for critical safety updates that’ll make your schools that much safer

Friend, it might seem like our duty to protect school safety grinds to a halt during the summer months, but it’s the opposite. Before we get ready to return to school, can you chip in to help us get the word out to schools that they can get safer this summer?

BUILD A SAFER FUTURE →

Thank you,

Stand With Parkland
