The School Board will not tolerate the possession of weapons, bombs, devices, instruments, materials, or substances animate or inanimate, that are used for, or are readily capable of, causing death or serious bodily injury by anyone while on Corporation property, at a school-related event, or while enroute to or from school on a school bus.
This policy shall also encompass such actions as look-alike items, false fire alarms, bomb threats, or intentional calls to falsely report a dangerous condition.
The Superintendent is authorized to establish administrative guidelines on dangerous weapons which requires students to report knowledge of dangerous weapons and threats of violence by students and staff to the building principal. Failure to report such knowledge may subject the student to immediate suspension and potential expulsion from school.
The Superintendent shall prepare administrative guidelines to ensure immediate reporting to the parent or guardian and proper disciplinary action as provided in the Code of Conduct and reporting to the local law enforcement agency.
Procedures shall also include the immediate reporting to the appropriate law enforcement agency if a dangerous weapon is found or is suspected to be in the possession of a Corporation employee or a visitor.
