Beginning January 5, firearms owners in Illinois can apply for a license to carry a concealed gun. The Firearm Concealed Carry Act (430 ILCS 66) identifies 25 areas where concealed firearms are prohibited, including schools. The law requires schools to post a sign provided by the Illinois State Police that states the carrying of firearms into the building is prohibited. District 204 is complying with the new law by posting these signs at the entrances used by the public. We are providing you with this information as you will notice the signs posted on our buildings when students return after winter break.
