D. Use and/or Possession of a Firearm
Bringing a firearm (as defined in the Federal Gun-Free Schools Act of 1994) onto school property or to any school-sponsored activity, competition, program, or event, regardless of where it occurs, will result in a mandatory one (1) year expulsion under Ohio law.

Firearm is defined as any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; the frame or receive of any such weapon; any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or any destructive device (as defined in the Federal Gun-Free Schools Act of 1994).
E. Use and/or Possession of a Weapon
A weapon is any device which may be used for offensive or defensive purpose, including but not limited to conventional objects such as guns, pellet guns, knives, or club type implements. It may also include any toy that is presented as a real weapon or reacted to as a real weapon. Possession and/or use of a weapon may subject a student to expulsion and possible permanent exclusion.

A knife is defined as any cutting instrument consisting of a sharp blade fastened to a handle.
F. Use of an Object as a Weapon
B. Use of an Object as a Weapon
Any object that is used to threaten, harm, or harass another may be considered a weapon. This includes, but is not limited to padlocks, pens, pencils, laser pointers, jewelry, and so on.
G. Knowledge of Dangerous Weapons or Threats of Violence
Because the Board believes that students, staff members, and visitors are entitled to function in a safe school environment, students are required to report knowledge of dangerous weapons or threats of violence to the principal. Failure to report such knowledge may subject the student to discipline.
H. Purposely Setting a Fire
Anything, such as fire, that endangers school property and its occupants will not be tolerated. Arson is a felony.
I. Physically assaulting a staff member, student, person associated with the School District
Physical assault of a staff member, student, or other person associated with the District, which may or may not cause injury, will not be tolerated. Assault on a staff member may result in charges being filed and subject the student to expulsion.
J. Verbally Threatening a Staff Member, Student, Person Associated with the School District
Any statement or noncontact action that a staff member, student, or other person associated with the District feels to be a threat will be considered a verbal assault as well as profanity directed toward a staff member in a threatening tone.
K. Misconduct Against a School Official or Employee or the Property of Such a Person, Regardless of Where it Occurs
Examples of misconduct include, but are not limited to harassment (of any type), vandalism, assault (verbal and/or physical), and destruction of property.
L. Misconduct Off School Grounds.
Misconduct by a student that occurs off of school property but is connected to activities or incidents that occurred on property owned or controlled by the District will be handled as though it occurred on school grounds.

Misconduct is defined as any violation of the Student Discipline Code.
M. Extortion
Extortion is the use of threat, intimidation, force, or deception to take, or receive something from someone else. Extortion is against the law.
N. Gambling
Gambling includes casual betting, betting pools, organized-sports betting, and any other form of wagering. Students who bet on an activity in which they are involved may also be banned from that activity.
O. Falsification of School Work, Identification, Forgery
Forgery of hall/bus passes and excuses as well as false I.D.’s are forms of lying and are not acceptable.

Plagiarism and cheating are also forms of falsification and may subject the student to academic penalties as well as disciplinary action.
P. False Alarms and False Reports
A false emergency alarm or report endangers the safety forces that are responding to the alarm/report, the citizens of the community, and the persons in the building. What may seem like a prank is a dangerous stunt that is against the law.
Q. Explosives
Explosives, fireworks, and chemical-reaction objects such as smoke bombs, small firecrackers, and poppers are forbidden and dangerous.
