Weapons Policy - No. 218.1
Students are prohibited from possessing, carrying, attempting to purchase or sell,
storing or using weapons or dangerous instruments while on school property, on the
way to or from school, and while present at any function or activity.
For purposes of this policy, a weapon or dangerous instrument shall consist of any
object or instrument which is commonly considered to be a weapon or dangerous
instrument, any object intended to look like and/or any object or instrument which
is in fact used to effect threats, intimidation, harassment, extortion or injury to a
person or property. The term “weapon” includes items such as knives, daggers,
razors, firearms, bombs, blackjacks, metal knuckles, clubs and any other item
or object possessed or used under circumstances not manifestly appropriate to
lawful possession and use. In addition, the term “weapon” includes explosives and
incendiary devices (including fireworks and the like) and noxious substances, such
as mace. The term “firearm” includes any weapon, loaded or unloaded, from which
a shot can be discharged by gunpowder or compressed air, and also includes the
unassembled components of a firearm.
Subject to any applicable due process procedures, any student who violates this
policy shall be expelled for a period of not less than one year except that the
Superintendent may on a case-by-case basis recommend lesser disciplinary action.
Additionally, the weapon shall be confiscated and the Superintendent shall report the
discovery of any weapon prohibited by this policy to local law enforcement officials.
Parental or guardian notification shall also be made in timely fashion.
The Superintendent shall report to the Department of Education all incidents
involving expulsion under this policy.
This policy is applicable to all persons (including school directors, employees,
students, contractors, visitors, etc.) who for any reason may be on property of the
School District except that this policy shall not apply to (a) duly authorized authorities
while in performance of their duties and (b) any person who has received from
the Superintendent specific written exemption from the policy. Any such written
exemption shall be valid for no more than one year and must be renewed.
Bullying and CyberBullying Policy - NO. 249
All forms of bullying and cyberbullying by school district students are hereby
prohibited. Anyone who engages in bullying or cyberbullying in violation of this
Policy shall be subject to appropriate discipline. Students who have been bullied
or cyber bullied shall promptly report such incidents to the designated employees.
Complaints of bullying or cyberbullying shall be investigated promptly and corrective
actions shall be taken when a complaint is verified. Neither reprisals nor retaliation
shall occur as a result of the submission of a complaint.

Bullying, as defined by this policy, includes cyberbullying. School setting means in
the school, on school grounds, in school vehicles, at a designated bus stop or at any
activity sponsored, supervised or sanctioned by the school.
The terms "bullying" and "cyberbullying" shall not be interpreted to infringe upon a
student's right to engage in legally protected speech or conduct.

principal or designee.
2. The building principal or designee shall promptly investigate and corrective action
shall be taken when allegations are verified.

PA Open Records Act
Beginning in January 2009, provisions of Act 3 (also known as the Open Records
amendment to the Pennsylvania Right-To-Know Law) took effect at all local and state
agencies in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including local municipal governments

public – both electronic and hard copy – with 30 listed exemptions. Act 3 requires the
school district to designate an official Open Records Officer to accept written requests
from the public and to ensure compliance with timelines and the law. Penn Manor has
designated the superintendent, Dr. Michael G. Leichliter, to handle all requests.

PEST CONTROL PLAN
In response to state-wide legislation, the Penn Manor School District has adopted an
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan for managing insects, rodents and weeds. The
purpose of the IPM is to protect every student from pesticide exposure by using a consistent
protocol for pest management.
Penn Manor is proactive in its pest-management efforts by making the school buildings
and grounds an unfavorable habitat for these pests. Removing food and water sources and
eliminating their hiding and breeding places are the best ways to combat pest infestations.
This is best accomplished through routine cleaning and maintenance of the facilities.
The custodial and maintenance department routinely monitors the school buildings and
grounds to detect any pests that are present. Pest sightings are reported to the district IPM
coordinator and contracted service provider. Each will evaluate the situation and determine
the appropriate management techniques to address the problem. The techniques can
include increased sanitation, modifying storage practices, sealing entry points, physically
removing the pest, etc.
From time to time, it might be necessary to use pesticides registered by the
Environmental Protection Agency to manage a pest problem. A pesticide will only be
used when necessary, and will not be routinely applied.
When a pesticide is necessary, the school district will try to use the least toxic product that
is effective. Applications will be made only when students do not have access to the area(s)
being treated. Notices will be posted in these areas 72 hours prior to application and for 2
days following the application.
If a chemical application must be made to control an emergency pest problem,
notice will be provided in writing to every parent/guardian whose child
attends the school building requiring treatment. The notice will include the date
of pesticide application, name of the pesticide and EPA registration number of the
pesticide. Exemptions to this notification include disinfectants and antimicrobial
products; self-containerized baits placed in areas not accessible to students
and gel type baits placed in cracks, crevices or voids.
If you have any questions, please contact Randy L. Wolfgang, Director of Support
Services at 872-9500, extension 2228, or [email protected].
