What is a consequence for a minor caught bringing a firearm to school?

When a minor is caught bringing a firearm to school, the issue is treated with significant seriousness due to the potential threat to safety and security that firearms pose in an educational environment. The minor may face severe legal and disciplinary repercussions, which often means that they may not have the option for a station adjustment. A station adjustment typically allows for a more lenient approach to dealing with minor offenses, focusing on rehabilitation over punishment. However, the presence of a firearm significantly escalates the situation, leading authorities to impose stricter consequences, which makes the option of not receiving a station adjustment appropriate in this context.

Counseling or community service might be offered for less severe offenses, and a warning is generally not seen as adequate for such a serious violation. Consequently, the focus on maintaining safety in schools is paramount, guiding the decision to deny a station adjustment in this scenario.
