Possession of Weapons

 

Any student found to be in possession of a weapon will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion, and reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency for criminal prosecution under the Pennsylvania Crime Code, 18 Pa. C.S. §912. Weapon is defined as including, but not limited to, any knife, cutting instrument, cutting tool, firearm, shotgun, rifle, and any other tool, instrument, or implement capable of inflicting serious bodily injury, or any object which looks like any such weapon or is intended for such use.

The parent or guardian of the student will be contacted immediately in the event of any such occurrence. A recommendation will be made to the parents that the student be taken to a physician or health care provider for a complete examination and will be requested to notify the school of the results of any such examination. The Principal shall also give immediate notice to the police of the incident for possible legal action.
