Iโ€™m proud to stand alongside our law enforcement partners and the School District of Lee County with one clear mission: safe kids, safe schools. A critical part of that mission is keeping weapons off our campuses so every school remains a safe place to learn and grow.As your Sheriff, I urge parents and guardians to make gun safety a priority at home. If you own a firearm, keep it locked, secured, and out of reach of children. Talk with your kids about the serious consequences of bringing any weapon to school.Weapons do not belong on school grounds โ€” period. Together, we can ensure our campuses stay safe for every student, teacher, and staff member.โ€” Sheriff Carmine Marceno#SafeKidsSafeSchools#GunSafetyStartsAtHome#SeeSomethingSaySomething#PartneringToMakeLeeCountySchoolsSafe ...
