Zero Tolerance Policy—It is the policy of the Governing Board to promote harmonious hu-man relationships that enable students to gain a true understanding of the rights and duties of people in our society. To further this in-tent, each school is responsible for creating a safe school environment conducive to student learning. A safe school environment miti-gates against anxiety-producing or demeaning incidents taking place within the confines of the school. The Governing Board declares the schools operated by CUSD to have a zero tolerance policy (BP2110) applicable to: Sex-ual assault or battery, battery, possession of, selling or furnishing a firearm, possession of a knife, or possession of a dangerous object, possession of an explosive or explosive de-vice, sale, furnishing, in possession or under the influence of alcohol, a controlled sub-stance, or any other form of intoxicant, van-dalism where property damage exceeds $100, repeated mutual combat, robbery, extortion or participating in gang motivated intimidation, hate motivated behavior, assault or threaten-ing of school staff and terroristic threats. Stu-dents in violation of the Zero Tolerance Poli-cy shall be suspended and considered for ex-pulsion and/or voluntary transfer.
