After a disciplinary hearing in June 2025, the Edwardsburg Board of Education found "Student A" guilty and voted to expel the student for 90 school days under the district's student code; the superintendent was directed to provide reentry options.
The Edwardsburg Board of Education voted in June 2025 to expel "Student A" for 90 school days following a disciplinary hearing, the board announced during an open meeting.
Kami, a staff member, read the board's findings and the recommended action: that the board "finds Student A guilty of engaging in the behavior for which he is accused" and, under the student code in the district's student handbook, expel the student for 90 school days. Kami said the student "may reapply for readmission" and that the superintendent can provide options to help the student continue to make progress in the general education curriculum.
Board members conducted a roll-call vote and the motion passed. The transcript records affirmative votes by Nick; Chelsea; Natalie; "Myself" (as recorded in the roll call); Justin; and Tammy. The board chair or presiding member announced, "The motion has passed." No further details about the alleged behavior or alternate placement were provided in the meeting record.

The transcript indicates the decision and the direction that the superintendent provide options, but it does not specify the timeline for reapplication, the nature of the options to be offered, or any subsequent administrative steps.
The meeting moved to adjournment after the vote.
