§ 49333 Student Weapon Return Policy

• •If a student brings something dangerous to school (like a knife or tool), they can get it back at the end of the day.
• •Only if they give it to a teacher or school staff first.
• •The item must be legal to have outside of school.

A student brings a pocketknife to school but gives it to their teacher right away.

The teacher can return the knife to the student at the end of the school day because the student handed it over and pocketknives are legal to have outside school.
