Brookland Elementary School

So very proud of these students moving to "Orange". Way to go! 👏

Dear Parents and Guardians, In accordance with Arkansas Act 229 of 2025, our school will provide students with age-appropriate firearm safety instruction as part of our curriculum. These classes will be conducted by Elementary School Resource Officer Kevin Foust. The purpose of this instruction is to help students understand the importance of firearm safety and prevent accidental injuries. Topics will include recognizing the dangers of firearms, never touching a firearm they encounter, moving away from the area, and immediately notifying a trusted adult. Lessons will be appropriate for students’ grade levels and focused on safety and prevention. We have included a video link below that explains Arkansas Act 229 of 2025 and provides additional information about the firearm safety instruction students will receive. We encourage parents and guardians to watch the video to learn more about the law and the curriculum.

If you would like more information or have questions about this curriculum, please contact Officer Kevin Foust at Brookland Elementary School at 870-932-2080. You are also welcome to stop by the school office and speak with Officer Foust during Parent-Teacher Conference Night on October 27, 2026.
