2. Possessing or being under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or illegal substance;
3. Possessing a weapon;
4. Fighting or otherwise striking or threatening another person;
5. Failing to obey the instructions of a security officer or Charter School employee; and
6. Engaging in any activity which is illegal or disruptive of the educational process.

1. The date, time, and place of the Board hearing;
2. A description of the unsportsmanlike conduct; and
