Livingston Parish School Board upholds expulsion in item 18; meeting adjourned
Summary
At a Livingston Parish School Board meeting, board officials said an expulsion for item 18 was upheld after no motion or second was offered; the board then approved a motion to adjourn.
A presiding officer for the Livingston Parish School Board said the board upheld the expulsion of Student A after no motion or second was offered on agenda item 18.
The decision was announced during consideration of confidential student information under item 18. The presiding officer said, "There being no motion or a second, the expulsion is upheld." The board subsequently moved to adjourn; Doctor McMurray made the motion and Mister Jeff Rizzell seconded it, and the presiding officer called for the vote.
The item on the record concerned confidential student information tied to "student a" (identified in the meeting transcript as Student A). No formal motion to vacate or reinstate the student was made on the record, and no roll-call vote on the discipline was recorded in the transcript excerpt provided. The only recorded formal vote in the excerpt was the motion to adjourn, moved by Doctor McMurray and seconded by Mister Jeff Rizzell. The presiding officer then asked for those in favor.
The meeting had returned to session prior to the item; Miss Sheena called the roll at the start of the excerpt. The transcript does not specify further details about the disciplinary case (charges, evidence, sanctions beyond "expulsion," or whether the decision was appealed).
