discipline. KRS 158.148 (2000) requires the department of education to develop statewide student discipline guidelines ensuring safe schools and
recommendations that improve the learning environment and school climate. Each board of education is to then adopt a code

learning is possible and encouraged. Bullying/Harassment: No state policy. Fighting/Gangs: KRS 158.150 (2001) considers assault or battery or abuse of school personnel as cause for suspension of expulsion from school. Hazing: No state policy. Weapons: KRS 527.070 (1996) states that it is unlawful, a class D felony, for a person to possess a weapon on school property and requires chief
administrators of a public school to post stating this policy. KRS 158.150 considers the carrying or use of weapons or dangerous instruments on school property as cause for suspension of expulsion

who is determined to have brought a weapon to school. KRS 161.195 (1992) requires notification to a teacher in writing that a student has a documented history of physical abuse of a school
