Board votes to permanently expel two students with conditions after closed hearings
Summary
After two closed hearings, the Anchor Bay Board of Education voted unanimously to permanently expel two students, imposing conditions including completion of online schooling, counseling, a fire-safety intervention and avoiding further negative interactions with law enforcement.
The Anchor Bay School District Board of Education voted Jan. 22 to permanently expel two students following closed hearings and separate motions in open session.
Trustee Ms. Knox moved to permanently expel student number 004837, with conditions that the student successfully complete online schooling, attend a fire-safety intervention, attend counseling, and avoid negative interactions with law enforcement. The motion was seconded by Mr. Venatelli and passed unanimously on roll call.
A second motion, also moved by Ms. Knox and seconded by a fellow trustee, permanently expelled student number 010172 subject to the same four conditions. That motion also passed unanimously on roll call.
Board members conducted the discipline hearings in closed session under the Open Meetings Act before returning to open session to vote, following the procedure described by board counsel and staff. The board did not release further identifying or case details in the public record during the meeting.
Why it matters: Permanent expulsions remove students from district schools and redirect them to alternate education paths; the board attached specified conditions intended to provide supervised remediation and to limit future safety risks.
What’s next: The board’s stipulations require the students to complete online coursework, participate in specified interventions and counseling, and comply with the condition on law-enforcement interactions. Administration will follow up to document compliance and placement options.
