NEWS & INFORMATION

If a student who is in possession of an item of contraband (such as a pocket knife, drugs, etc.) voluntarily surrenders the item as soon as he/she realizes that it is in his/her possession to a responsible staff member, then the student may be eligible for mitigation, in whole or in part, of the penalty for possessing the item as appropriate under the circumstances.  To qualify for this provision, such surrender must occur prior to the beginning of any investigation or search that might uncover the item.
