Dear Community,
We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all students, staff, and visitors at our school events. To enhance our security efforts and stay current in our safety technology, we have recently implemented new technology designed to detect weapons. This technology will be in use on school grounds, which includes all athletic facilities.
As a reminder, Georgia law prohibits weapons in school safety zones, at school functions, and/or on school property. While we know our community values safety, we also recognize that sometimes people who carry weapons regularly may forget they are carrying when entering a school zone. If this happens at a school-related event, whether on or off school property, individuals will be subject to the applicable laws, including possible criminal prosecution by law enforcement. Please read and know this law for yourself, as we are not attempting to interpret this law for you.
To prevent any accidental or intentional introduction of weapons at any school function, we want to raise awareness and provide education on this matter. We ask for your cooperation in ensuring that you are in compliance with all laws related Georgia Code § 16-11-127.1.
We believe that, with your partnership, we can maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
