Duarte Unified board delays readmission, extends expulsion in case 03-23-24
Summary
The board voted 5-0 Nov. 13 to vote "no" on readmission under Education Code §48916 for expulsion case no. 03-23-24, which extends the student’s expulsion period and keeps the student enrolled at Opportunities for Learning during the extension.
The Duarte Unified School District Board of Education voted 5-0 on Nov. 13 to delay readmission for a student in expulsion case no. 03-23-24. In public comments introducing the item, the board cited Education Code section 48916 as the statutory framework for readmission eligibility; a "yes" vote would have ended the expulsion period, while a "no" vote extended it.
Board member Diaz moved that the board vote "no" on readmission, and Board member Reyes seconded the motion; the board then conducted a roll-call vote. The chair confirmed each board member’s vote and recorded a five-vote majority in favor of the motion to extend the expulsion. The board noted for the record that during the extension the student will remain enrolled in Opportunities for Learning, a non-traditional educational setting the district uses for students during disciplinary placements.
The board did not provide additional detail in open session on the underlying incidents or any rehabilitative conditions attached to readmission eligibility. The item was presented in public session after the meeting was called to order and followed standard procedural requirements for disciplinary items under state law.
