POSITION OF THE PORT HURON AREA SCHOOL
DISTRICT ON WEAPONS
    It is imperative that all parents and students understand the seriousness of having weapons in school. The position of the Port Huron Area School District is that a student carrying a weapon can be charged with carrying a concealed weapon and this can be determined to be a felony.
    The interpretation of what a weapon is can include look-alike weapons, BB gun pistols, starter pistols, knives, and other potentially dangerous devices. Places where the school district has jurisdiction regarding possession of a weapon include to and from school, at extracurricular activities, on school buses and during other school related activities.
    The use and/or possession of a weapon and/or look-alike weapon will result in notification to parents, referral to proper police authorites, suspension not to exceed 10 days and recommendation for EXPULSION.
    We are asking parents and students to review the information on pages 14 & 15 in the Chippewa Middle School Student & Parent Handbook, as well as the Port Huron Area School District Student Code Handbook pages 32-41.
