YOUTH GANGS
 
POLICY


Schools and students must be free from the threats or harmful influence of any groups or gangs which advocate drug use, violence, vandalism, or disruptive behavior.

Youth gangs, therefore, will not be tolerated in the public schools. The Department of Education will administer a “no tolerance” policy towards youth gangs and involve students, school staff, parents, other community members and agencies in the programs to address youth gangs in schools.

Approved: 11/21/91
