Policy on Weapons in School

The safety of our Future Professionals, guests, and team members is of our utmost importance; and therefore, Paul Mitchell The School Cleveland and Paul Mitchell The School Columbus prohibits anyone from entering the school with any type of weapon, including:

  • Guns of any kind,
  • Brass or metal knuckles
  • Knives or other items that impale
  • Tasers and stun guns
  • Any weapon intended to propel objects

Future Professionals and team members may not, at any time while on any property owned, leased or controlled by Paul Mitchell The School Cleveland and Paul Mitchell The School Columbus including anywhere that the school may hold an event, possess or use any weapon.

Regardless of whether a Future Professional, guest or team member possesses a concealed weapons permit (CCW) or is allowed by law to possess a weapon, weapons are prohibited on any school property. They are also banned in any location in which the Future Professional or team member attends a school sponsored event.  

Possession of a weapon can be authorized only by the school owner or director in order to allow trained security personnel or law enforcement to be armed when it is determined necessary to secure the safety and security of the school and its occupants.

Future Professionals or team members who violate this policy will be subject to disciplinary actions, up to and including termination.
