IV . STUDENT DISCIPLINE : POLICIES A . Disruptive Student Policy
1 . As stated in the philosophy of our District Student Discipline Policy , an environment conducive to learning must be maintained to ensure equal educational opportunity for all students . Because an environment is partially determined by the conduct of the students , student self-discipline relative to district , building and classroom rules and regulations is a desired goal .
2 . It shall ; therefore , be a policy of the Anoka-Hennepin School District that : a . Every student abides by the rules and regulations of this district . b . Disciplinary action including expulsion may be taken for behaviors , which are disruptive or violate the rights of others to an environment conducive to teaching and learning .
3 . Early intervention in attempting to improve a student ’ s pattern of disruptive behavior is strongly encouraged . This should include involvement of parents / guardians and the utilization of available school district resources provided for students , including screening by the child study team .
4 . A student will be referred to the school board for expulsion , if various appropriate interventions have been implemented and documented and the student persists in behavior which : a . Violates any reasonable School Board regulation . Such regulation must be clear and definite to provide notice to pupils that they must conform their conduct to its requirements , or b . Significantly disrupts the rights of others to an education , or the ability of school personnel to perform their duties , or school sponsored extracurricular activities , or c . Endangers the pupil or other pupils , or surrounding persons , including school district employees , or the property of the school .
B . Policy on Weapons
1 . It is the policy of the Anoka-Hennepin School District to maintain a positive , safe and secure learning and working environment . Therefore , the District will not tolerate weapons as defined in this policy at any time on school property or in the school zone , * including district owned buildings and grounds ; leased or rented facilities ; school sponsored activities ; field trips ; school buses and other school vehicles ; and school bus loading and unloading areas . Students and visitors may not possess , store , handle , transmit , or use any weapons in any of the school environments listed above . Any student found to possess , store , handle , transmit , or use any weapon before , during , or after school hours would be subject to administrative and / or legal action . * School zone : The area surrounding school property to a distance of 300 feet or one city block , whichever distance is greater , beyond school property .
2 . Students who become aware of a weapon ( that is not subject to an exception listed in this policy ) being brought to school or on school property must immediately notify an adult staff member . A student , who becomes aware that he / she is in possession of a weapon and immediately notifies an adult staff member , may avoid , depending on circumstances , being considered to be in possession of a weapon . Students should not , however , pick up or transport the weapon .
3 . Administrative Discretion : While the Anoka-Hennepin School District forbids the possession , use or distribution of weapons by students , the superintendent ’ s designee may use discretion in determining whether , under specific circumstances outlined by district administration and the school board , a course of action other than a referral to the school board for expulsion is warranted . If so , other appropriate action may be taken , including consideration of a recommendation for lesser discipline .
