It is the policy of the board of education to ensure the safety and welfare of its students and employees. 

The presence of firearms, knives, dirks, razors, metal knuckles, slingshots, bludgeons, tasers, mace, explosives or any other deadly instrument used for the infliction of bodily harm or death on school district property poses a severe threat of serious harm or injury to students and staff.

While on school grounds, in school buildings, on buses, at the bus-stop, or at school-related functions, students will not possess any item capable of inflicting injury or harm (hereinafter referred to as a weapon) to persons or property when that item is not used in relation to a normal school activity at a scheduled time for the student. No vehicles parked on school property may contain firearms, knives, blackjacks or other items which are generally considered to be weapons.

Items deemed as “look-alike” weapons brought onto school premises or at school-related events may be punished as weapons depending upon the circumstances.
