False Alarms/Inducing Panic Sample Clauses

False Alarms/Inducing Panic. No student shall induce panic, cause the evacuation of any school building or otherwise cause serious public inconvenience or alarm by: Initiating or circulating a report or warning of an alleged or impending fire, explosion, crime, or other catastrophe, knowing that such a report or warning is false. Examples include, but are not limited to, pulling a fire alarm when the student knows there is no fire or making a bomb threat when the student knows that there is no bomb, or making a false "hit list." Threatening to commit an offense of violence, as that term is defined in Ohio Revised Code Section 2901.01 (A) (9). Examples include, but are not limited to, threatening to kill, assault, kidnap, rape, or rob someone, to commit extortion, to provoke a riot, to commit arson, or to discharge a firearm at or into a school. Committing any offense with reckless disregard of the likelihood that its commission will cause serious public inconvenience or alarm. For purposes of this policy, reckless disregard means disregarding a known risk that the student's conduct is likely to cause serious public inconvenience or alarm, and being heedlessly indifferent to the effects on others of the action taken by the student. Under Ohio law, any person who "induces panic" is guilty of a felony, regardless of whether anyone is hurt or their school suffers economic harm.
