Mount Diablo Unified board approves three student expulsions, sets conditions for readmission
Summary
The Mount Diablo Unified School District Board of Education voted unanimously to approve three stipulated expulsion agreements for the 2025–26 term, each with conditions for readmission including counseling, academic benchmarks and attendance requirements.
The Mount Diablo Unified School District Board of Education on Aug. 13, 2025, voted unanimously to approve three stipulated expulsion agreements for the 2025–26 school year.
The board adopted expulsions for students identified in the meeting as student 01‑26, 02‑26 and 03‑26. Each expulsion includes required conditions for readmission: completion of counseling to address anger management and conflict resolution, evidence of a successful school experience at a site determined by student services (including no violations of Education Code sections cited in the motions), maintenance of a 2.0 grade‑point average or better, earning specified credits, and a 90% or better attendance rate. For students 02‑26 and 03‑26 the board explicitly required the student to remain away from all Mount Diablo Unified campuses and activities except at the new site established by student services until the conditions are met.
The motions were moved by Trustee Mason and seconded by Trustee Lawrence. Each expulsion was adopted on a 5–0 roll call vote with trustees Mason, McDougall, Lawrence, Nzewi and Mayo voting yes. The student board member did not vote on these items because expulsions were discussed in closed session and the board followed its stated procedure for those votes.
Why it matters: The expulsions remove students from general campus attendance for the term while establishing clear, written steps for reentry. The motions direct student services to determine school placement for readmission and to monitor completion of the listed conditions.
Board action and next steps: The motions adopt stipulated agreements and task student services with placement and monitoring. No additional information about underlying incidents was disclosed in open session; the board noted that matters discussed in closed session remain confidential except as allowed by district policy and law.
Quotes "The expulsion term is for the 2025–26 school year. During the expulsion term, [the] student will attend the Opportunity Program," Trustee Mason said when moving the first stipulated agreement.
"Student number 2‑26 is required to meet the following conditions: complete 10 hours of counseling to address anger management and conflict resolution ... maintain a 2 GPA or better, earning 30 credits, and having a 90% or better attendance rate," Trustee Mason said while reading the conditions for the second student.
Ending The board recorded the expulsions and directed staff to carry out the placements and conditions described in each stipulated agreement. Further details about the disciplinary allegations were not disclosed in open session.
