Students found committing this offense are to be expelled for one year (not one school year) and referred for criminal prosecution.  Effective January 7, 2003, the Legislature amended Section 1006.07(2)(f), Florida Statutes, to remove reference to a knife, and instead references “a weapon as defined in Chapter 790.”  In 2006, the Legislature amended the weapons definition in Chapter 790 by adding knife and further exempting plastic utensils and blunt-bladed knives and kept the pocketknife exemption.  The definition in Section 790.001(13), Florida Statutes, contains those items required to be in a district’s code of student conduct and exempts common pocketknife as well as plastic utensils and blunt-bladed knives.  It is the legislative intent that districts enforce policies that allow for discretion in determining whether to punish students found to be in possession of items such as pocketknives, plastic utensils, blunt-bladed knives, etc.  Possession of any weapon or knife (including a pocketknife) should be reported to law enforcement for investigation.  Pocketknives found to be intended to use to harm another should be reported to SESIR.\n","Must be Weapon-Related.
