Discipline Weapons Students
are prohibited from bringing weapons to or having weapons in school.
Any student who carries, possesses, conceals, transfers to
another to hold, hide, etc., any weapon, on school premises or possesses
a weapon in the vicinity of the school, shall be immediately excluded
from class pending investigation. Any
student suspected of carrying, possessing, concealing or transferring a
weapon on school premises or in the vicinity of the school, also shall
be immediately excluded from classes pending investigation. A
weapon is any object which can be used to threaten or injure another.
It includes, without limitation: guns, knives, chains, karate
sticks, sharpened instruments, etc.
School premises include the school building and the adjacent
grounds, e.g., parking lots and playgrounds, students lockers, and
busses. Investigation
may include an inspection and search of students and their book bags,
purses, lunch pails, lockers, etc. Investigation also may include questioning by the Pastor,
administrators, a teacher, or other person acting in his or her place
and/ or the police. Any
person found to be in violation of the above rule or who fails or
refuses to cooperate in an investigation shall be excluded from school. If
investigation discloses that a student has not violated the above rule,
the student will be readmitted to classes after a meeting among the
Pastor, administrators, the student, and his or her parents or
guardians. NOTE:
The Federal Gun-Free Schools Act of 1994 requires a provision for
expulsion in the weapons policy of each school. Michigan
law now requires the reporting of possession of a "dangerous
weapon" (firearm, dagger, dirk, stiletto, knife with blade over 3
inches or opened by mechanical device, iron bar, or brass knuckles) to
the local police. Expulsion
of up to one year is possible.
