WEAPONS IN SCHOOL<br />
A student found to be in possession of weapons on school grounds or at school-related activities will be<br />
expelled for one year. (Iowa Code 280.21B)<br />
Weapons may include: dangerous weapons, or any instrument used as a weapon in the schools, including<br />
any object used to intimidate, coerce, scare, or threaten a student, school district employee or visitor.<br />
Dangerous weapons therefore include, but are not limited to clubs, nunchakus, brass knuckles, knives,<br />

Pocket knives are defined as having blades shorter than three inches and are not welcome at school. Any<br />
student in possession of a pocket knife on school grounds will be suspended for a minimum of three<br />
days. Repeated offenses will lead to longer periods of suspension and/or expulsion.<br />
VANDALISM<br />
Vandalism is the accidental or malicious destruction of someone’s personal property or school property<br />
by any means. Any vandalism reported to a law enforcement agency will be dealt with by the court<br />
system. Vandalism not reported to a law enforcement agency will be handled using the terms specified<br />
below.<br />
First Offense: Warning of possible criminal charges, detention time, and full restitution for<br />
damages incurred. A parental conference will be necessary.<br />
Second Offense: 2 Days of In <strong>School</strong> Suspension. Admission to classes after restitution has been<br />
made and accepted. A conference will be held with the principal, student, and parent/or guardian<br />
to discuss the terms of reinstatement.<br />
Third Offense: A recommendation will be made to the Board for expulsion.<br />
IN-SCHOOL SUSPENSION RULES<br />
Students receiving in-school suspension will observe the following rules:<br />
Report to the ICN room at the beginning of the school day<br />
Remain quiet and do not disrupt anyone else serving in-school<br />
Turn in all electronic devices including cell phones and mp3 players<br />
Do not listen to music, sleep, or violate the school’s computer rules<br />
Any student violating the above rules will be sent home for one day of out-of-school suspension and will<br />
not receive credit for any in-school suspension time served. The student will be allowed to come back<br />
to school after a conference with parents and principal. Upon returning to school the student will make<br />
up the in-school suspension time.<br />
