Board admits transfer student under disciplinary policy and places student in alternative school
Summary
The board approved admitting a transfer student who was remanded for insubordination, placing the student in an alternative school according to district policy 6.318.
The Rutherford County School Board voted to admit a transfer student who was remanded for insubordination and to place that student in an alternative school setting under district policy 6.318.
Legal staff reported the board may deny admission of students who transfer from another system while suspended or expelled, but the director of schools recommended admission and placement in the alternative program. The board voted to accept that recommendation.
Board members asked whether space was available in the alternative program; staff said space would be available as students complete the semester. The motion to admit and place the student passed by voice vote.
