2200 -WEAPONS ON CAMPUS
The Board of Education practices zero tolerance with respect to weapons on school property. Any person who in violation of state law brings a firearm or other weapon onto school property, possesses a weapon on school property, or encourages or enables another to bring or possess any weapon on school property will be reported to law enforcement authorities. Possession of a concealed handgun permit does not authorize the holder to carry a weapon on school property. For the purpose of this policy, school property includes any public school building, bus, public school campus, grounds, recreational area or athletic field.
2200.1 Each principal shall cause to have posted at school buildings and activity fields notices stating the prohibition against weapons on school property.
2200.2 Each principal shall take steps to notify students and parents/guardians at the start of each school year of the school system's weapons policy and the consequences for students who violate the policy.
