g. Engaging in conduct that contains the elements of any felony. h. Sexual Harassment. i. Gang-related activity: A “gang” as defined in this policy means any ongoing organization, association, or group of three or more persons, whether formal or informal, having as one of its primary activities the commission of one or more criminal acts, which has an identifiable name or identifying sign or symbol, and whose members individually or collectively engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity. Gang-related activity includes but is not limited to: i. Wearing, possessing, using or distributing, displaying or selling any clothing, jewelry, emblem, badge, symbol, sign or other things which evidence membership in a gang. ii. Use of a name associated with or attributable to a gang; iii. Designating "turf" or an area for gang activity or occupation. Be aware that there are challenging constitutional issues related to policies dealing with gang- related attire as the policy impacts students’ First Amendment speech rights. A school should be able to document evidence of real and substantial problems caused by, or at least reasonably likely to be caused by, gang clothing. In designing a dress code, school authorities should focus on problems if they exist. A school may choose to develop a specific list of clothing and accessories that “evidence membership in a gang.” Such lists must be flexible to adapt to shifts in fashion styles. Students must be given ample notice of the list and any amendments. The policy should also include an appeals process that allows students to dispute that particular clothing deemed gang related is actually not gang regalia. 2. Conduct Which Requires Suspension or Expulsion a. a. A student shall be suspended or expelled from school for participation in any serious violation affecting another student or a staff member, or any serious violation when it occurs in a school building, in or on school property; or in conjunction with any school sponsored activity including: i. i. The sale, control, delivery, transfer or distribution of a drug or controlled substance, as defined in Utah Code § 58-37-2, an imitation controlled substance, as defined in Utah Code § 58-37b-2, or drug paraphernalia as defined in Utah Code § 58-37a-3 (See Policy FHAA); ii. ii. Commission of an act involving the use of force or the threatened use of force which if committed by an adult would be a felony or class A misdemeanor. Utah Code § 53G-8-205(2) (2019)
