Dear LCCTC Families,

We’re sharing information with you here about a new state law taking effect in 2026 to support school safety and student success.

Act 44 — We are now required to notify families and staff within 24 hours if a student is found in possession of any weapon or look-alike weapon at school or during a school-sponsored activity.

This will result in more frequent safety notifications, even in cases that are not an active safety threat. This does not mean there is any increased danger in our schools.

Additionally, if an incident occurs at any of our campuses, all families and staff may receive a notification — even if there is no direct impact on you, specifically. Please keep in mind that the information shared in these safety-related situations may be limited to protect the privacy of any students involved.

The Lancaster County Career and Technology Center is dedicated to student safety. We have strong, well-established safety procedures in place to prevent safety incidents and to respond quickly and appropriately in the event of emergencies.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your campus principal.

Sincerely,

Michael Katch
Interim Director, Lancaster County Career and Technology Center
