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.
Fiscal Impact Statement: This item does not authorize expenditures.
