Board upholds suspended expulsion for student and approves employee leave of absence

During the meeting the board held an expulsion hearing and acted on a request for an employee leave of absence, recording motions and voice votes on both matters.

At the start of the meeting the board conducted an expulsion hearing for student identified in the transcript as "student 45-24-25." The record shows the board moved to expel the student under a suspended expulsion order with conditions; the chair called the question and members voted by voice, with the transcript recording "All in favor? Aye. 3 ayes." The transcript identifies a motion and indicates the action was to impose a suspended expulsion with conditions but does not provide the text of the suspension terms in the meeting audio.

Later the board considered and approved an employee leave of absence. The transcript records a motion "by Miss Brandon, seconded by Ray," followed by a voice vote in which the chair announced approval. The transcript also separately records a motion to approve a leave of absence and a subsequent voice vote recorded as "All in favor? Aye. 3 0. That was on the Okay. Procedural issue and recording of this meeting is to be made. Shall be kept for 30 days as a public record."

The board recorded the personnel approvals by voice vote during the consent or personnel portion of the agenda. The meeting record does not provide the employee's name or further details of the leave in the transcript provided; the actions recorded in the minutes should be reviewed for personnel-identifying information and the specific conditions of the suspended expulsion.
