Newman-Crows Landing school board votes to expel student after closed-session finding
Summary
The Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District board voted 5-0 to expel student No. 24661 under Education Code 48915(a) for causing serious physical injury. The board also reported rejecting a liability claim raised in closed session.
The Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District board voted unanimously to expel student No. 24661 after a closed‑session recommendation that the student violated Education Code 48915(a) by causing serious physical injury to another person.
"It is moved that the Board of Education find there is cause to expel student number 24661 from all schools in the district for violation of Education Code 48915(a), causing serious physical injury to another person except in self defense," read a motion presented to the board and adopted by a 5-0 vote.
President Cabral reported the board also returned from closed session having rejected a liability claim filed by Mike Crinklaw against the district. Cabral noted one board member recused from that vote because she was a relative of the defendant; the liability‑claim rejection passed 4-0.
The expulsion, as recorded by the board, removes the student from district campuses for the remainder of the fall semester and the subsequent spring semester of the 2025–26 school year. The board cited the specific Education Code provision invoked during the hearing.
No public testimony on the expulsion was recorded on the public record during the meeting. The board's formal motion and its roll-call approval are the district's recorded actions; the minutes do not include additional factual detail about the incident beyond the statutory citation and the student identifier.
