280.21B EXPULSION -- WEAPONS IN SCHOOL.
The board of directors of a school district and the authorities in
charge of a nonpublic school which receives services supported by
federal funds shall expel from school for a period of not less than
one year a student who is determined to have brought a weapon to a
school or knowingly possessed a weapon at a school under the
jurisdiction of the board or the authorities. However, the
superintendent or chief administering officer of a school or school
district may modify expulsion requirements on a case-by-case basis.
This section shall not be construed to prevent the board of directors
of a school district or the authorities in charge of a nonpublic
school that have expelled a student from the student's regular school
setting from providing educational services to the student in an
alternative setting. If both this section and section 282.4 apply,
this section takes precedence over section 282.4. For purposes of
this section, "weapon" means a firearm as defined in 18 U.S.C. §
921. This section shall be construed in a manner consistent with the
federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 20 U.S.C. §
1400 et seq. Section History: Recent Form
