Background:
Revisions to Administrative Policy 8.23 Weapons in the Schools reflect changes in the Student Code of Conduct Definitions.

Revisions to Administrative Policy 8.31: Student Suspension clearly articulate due process requirements for suspension.

Upon approval by the Board, the Office of Board Governance will update the policies.
