STUDENTS <br /> 3310 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br />Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 <br /> <br />GANGS AND GANG ACTIVITY <br /> <br />The Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 Board of Trustees is committed to ensuring <br />a safe and orderly environment, where learning and teaching may occur void of physical <br />or psychological disruptions, unlawful acts, or violations of school regulations. Gang <br />activities create an atmosphere of intimidation in the entire school community. Both the <br />immediate consequences of gang activity and the secondary effects are disruptive and <br />obstructive to the process of education and school activities. Groups of individuals <br />which meet the definition of gangs shall be prohibited on any school premises or at any <br />school sponsored activity regardless of location. <br /> <br /> <br />Guidelines <br /> <br />1. It is against Board policy and unlawful for any student, person, group, or <br />organization to: <br /> <br />a. establish a fraternity, sorority or other secret society (e.g. gangs) whose <br />membership is comprised in whole or in part of students enrolled in the District’s <br />schools; <br /> <br />b. solicit a student in any of the District’s schools to become a member of such <br />organization; or <br /> <br />c. pledge him/herself to become a member of any such organization. <br /> <br />2. Students on school property or at any school-sponsored activity shall not: <br /> <br />a. Wear, possess, use, distribute, or sell any clothing, jewelry, emblem, badge, <br />symbol, sign, or other items which are evidence of membership in, affiliation with, <br />and/or representative of any gang; <br /> <br />b. Engage in any act, whether verbal or nonverbal, including gestures or <br />handshakes, showing membership in, affiliation with, and/or that is representative <br />of any gang; or <br /> <br />c. Engage in any act furthering the interest of any gang or gang activity, including, <br />but not limited to: <br /> <br />1) Soliciting any person to pay for protection; <br /> <br />2) Threatening another person, explicitly or implicitly, with violence or with any <br />other illegal or prohibited act; <br /> <br />3) Painting, writing, or otherwise inscribing gang-related graffiti, messages, <br />symbols, or signs on school property;
