NASSP Policy & Advocacy Center Congressional Briefing—Protecting Our Schools From Gun Violence

After one of the deadliest shootings in American history at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the need to improve school safety and protect our communities from gun violence has never been more urgent. In this event, the NASSP Policy & Advocacy Center brought school leaders who had experienced shootings and gun violence incidents in their schools to Capitol Hill to share their stories and offer policy recommendations to lawmakers. The event also featured remarks from Congressman Ted Deutch (D-FL) who represents Parkland, NASSP Executive Director JoAnn Bartoletti, and members of NASSP’s Student Leadership Advisory Committee.
