Board reduces disciplinary placement on appeal; one board member records a no vote
Summary
After closed-session deliberation and an appeal hearing, the board reduced a student's placement at New Horizons from nine weeks to four weeks for the 2025–26 school year; one board member recorded a no vote on the motion.
In a closed-session action disclosed at the meeting’s end, the Prince Edward County School Board voted to modify the disciplinary consequence for a student identified in the record as Student A, reducing placement at the New Horizons program from nine weeks to four weeks for the 2025–26 school year.
The change was made following the board’s closed-session review of the disciplinary appeal. When votes were announced, the record shows Board Member Dr. Corbett voted no on the motion; other members approved the modification. The board’s public announcement included the vote change but kept the student’s identity confidential in line with privacy requirements.
Later in the meeting the board also approved two religious exemptions and the personnel list during the same closed-session disclosures.
