Support of National ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day to Prevent Gun Violence (Waiver of Board Rule 72) ADOPTED

Whereas, The epidemic of gun violence is plaguing our nation's children and claiming nine lives a day;

Whereas, Over 40% of American homes with children have guns, many of them are kept unlocked and loaded, and children in the United States are more likely to die of gun violence than from all natural causes combined;

Whereas, The ASK Campaign is a comprehensive national public health campaign developed by PAX, in partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics, which urges parents to ask their neighbors if they have a gun in the home before sending the children over to play; and

Whereas, The power of the ASK Campaign is that it enrolls all Americans concerned with the welfare of children, including gun owners, and makes the solution to gun violence a discussion about public safety and good parenting;

Whereas, The first annual National ASK Day will be held on August 20, 2001, on the anniversary of the death of thirteen-year-old John Joseph Price who lost his life in an accidental shooting at his friend's home; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles does hereby proclaim August 20, 2001, to be "ASK Day" and call upon the students, teachers, parents, administrators, and staff of the Los Angeles Unified School District to recognize this special observance with appropriate activities.
