The Board of Education of the Corona-Norco Unified School District has approved and will enforce the following penalties for student involvement.
Complete list of suspendable offenses: California Education Code for student suspension and expulsion
Dangerous Objects:
The possession, sale or furnishing of any knife, explosive, or other dangerous object, including but not limited to Swiss-Army style knives, exacto knives, box cutters, single-edge razor blades, pepper spray, BB/pellet gun, martial arts combat equipment, and brass knuckles is prohibited. If any student has questions regarding the appropriateness of an object on campus, they should ask school administration prior to bringing the object on campus. Any student who inadvertently brings an object onto campus that is prohibited should turn it in to a teacher or administrator immediately; doing so will avoid disciplinary consequences. Any student found in possession of a dangerous object shall be recommended for expulsion from the Corona-Norco Unified School District. Any student who possesses, sells, or furnishes a firearm will be recommended for expulsion for 12 calendar months.
Controlled Substances:
Controlled substances include illegal drugs and alcohol, and students found in possession, under the influence, or having used them will be subject to suspension and transfer to the Expellee Program in grades 7 through 8 on the first offense. Upon a second offense, students at all grade levels will be recommended for expulsion. Any student selling or furnishing illegal drugs or alcohol will be recommended for expulsion on a first offense.
Sexual Harassment/Battery:
Sexual Harassment is a violation of state and federal laws. Discipline consequences will be applied. Specific information can be found in the Parent-Student Handbook. Students accused of sexual battery will be recommended for expulsion.
Tobacco and Nicotine Products:
Tobacco and nicotine products (such as cigarettes, chew, or other related products) are prohibited and students found in possession, or having used such products under school jurisdiction, will receive specified consequences ranging from detention to suspension and recommendation for alternative campus placement.
Other Prohibited Items:
Electronic cigarettes (E-cigs) and Vaporizers (VAPES) are prohibited from being on campus or at school-sponsored events. These items are considered drug paraphernalia and students may face suspension if found in possession.
Fighting or Attempting to Fight:
Threatening to fight, fighting, or attempting to fight will result in suspension, behavior contract, and/or in other disciplinary actions. A third fight will result in a recommendation of expulsion. Any student who causes serious bodily injury, strikes a district employee or make terrorist threats will be recommended for expulsion.
Our expectation is for students to avoid verbal/physical confrontations by walking away and seeking the assistance of school staff in resolving potential conflicts.
These regulations apply to any school related activity including but not limited to:
