Veering a bit off topic, but I don’t think “having a weapon” should be an automatic expulsion offense. I could definitely see where a kid could have a pocketknife in their pocket or backpack completely by accident and never had any intent to use it.
It just makes no logical sense to me why a kid who actually engages in physical violence against another student would only receive detention or suspension, but a kid accidentally bringing something in his backpack would be expelled without exception.
