NEIFPE Statement on Gun Violence

The issue of gun ownership and Second Amendment rights is something our society has failed to address, and until we address it, schools can only try to prepare to respond to active shooters. The plans and practice to prepare school staff and students places one more unfunded burden on schools when legislators are unwilling to fund public schools fully and equitably to insure they have enough teachers, counselors, and support staff to meet the needs of students and to support their learning.

NEIFPE is working to combat the forces that have depleted resources for public schools to operate in the best interest of students.
