Miss Gordon expresses concern over Evan's football participation amid disciplinary actions

The Union Schools Board Meeting held on July 14, 2025, addressed several key issues, with a focus on student discipline and extracurricular participation. The meeting began with a discussion regarding a specific case involving a student, Evan, who faced a full-day suspension due to actions taken on April 9.

During the meeting, it was noted that Miss Gordon, presumably a guardian or advocate for Evan, expressed significant concern about the potential impact of the suspension on his ability to participate in football. The board members discussed the implications of the suspension, which was set to last approximately 45 calendar days. The conversation highlighted that Miss Gordon seemed more focused on Evan's football opportunities than on the actions that led to the disciplinary measures.

The board acknowledged the need to review Miss Gordon's concerns regarding Evan's situation. They agreed to consider the balance between maintaining discipline and supporting students' extracurricular engagements. This discussion underscored the ongoing challenge of addressing student behavior while also recognizing the importance of sports and other activities in a student's life.

In conclusion, the meeting emphasized the board's commitment to reviewing individual cases with care, ensuring that student welfare and discipline are both prioritized. Further discussions and follow-up actions regarding Evan's situation and similar cases are expected in future meetings.
