LAPEER, Michigan — Next month, Lapeer Community Schools (LCS) will host a community forum to inform the public on the issue of open carry in schools. The forum will be held at 6 p.m. on August 3 in the cafeteria at the Rolland-Warner 6-7 Campus, 3145 W. Genesee St., Lapeer.

This event is a great opportunity for members of the community to be informed about the laws governing the issue of open carry of firearms in schools, as well as relevant school district procedures.

“We look forward to meeting with our community to discuss an important issue facing school districts across the state,” said LCS Superintendent Matt Wandrie. “Since the issue of open carry in schools is both complex and controversial, we feel it is our role as a district to provide as much information as we can to our families.”

The discussion will be led by district administrators and facilitated by members of local law enforcement agencies.
