Board adopts resolution modifying extended suspension; hearing officer decision and probationary plan implemented
Summary
After executive session and a public reconvening, the board adopted Resolution 2025‑3 to modify an extended term suspension per the hearing officer’s recommendation and to implement a probationary plan; final recorded vote was 7–0.
Following an executive session to discuss confidential student matters, the Emporia Public Schools Board of Education reconvened in open session and voted to adopt Resolution 2025‑3, which modifies an extended term suspension as recommended by a hearing officer and implements the hearing officer’s decision to include a probationary plan.
The board moved the resolution in open session, deliberated and conducted a hand vote; an initial tally recorded in the transcript showed differing interim counts (a recorded hand vote of 6–1, then a correction to 7–0). The board clerk and chair confirmed the final recorded outcome as 7–0. The resolution implements the hearing officer’s recommendation rather than the original extended suspension length and attaches a probationary plan as part of the remedy.
The board did not discuss additional public details about the student due to confidentiality protections; the motion and vote were taken in open session after the executive session concluded. The superintendent and director of assessments/ accountability were present for the executive session as invited. No further disciplinary detail was released in the meeting.
