Board accepts attorney recommendation on litigation, upholds superintendent expulsion recommendation
Summary
After a closed executive session on potential employee litigation and a confidential student expulsion appeal, the Acadia Parish School Board accepted its attorneys’ recommendation on the litigation and voted to uphold the superintendent’s recommendation to expel the student.
The Acadia Parish School Board met in executive session to discuss two confidential matters: potential litigation involving an employee and an expulsion appeal requested by a student’s parent.
Following the closed session, the board reconvened in public and accepted the recommendation of its attorneys regarding the pending litigation. The board then moved to uphold the superintendent’s recommendation to expel the student; the motion to uphold the expulsion was made by Mr Quibito and seconded, and the board indicated the motion carried by voice vote. Board members reiterated that the expulsion appeal was heard in executive session because it is a confidential student matter and that no votes occur while in executive session.
The board did not disclose the student’s identity or detailed facts of the expulsion on the public record. The actions taken reflect the board’s post‑executive-session decisions: accepting legal counsel’s recommendation and upholding the superintendent’s discipline recommendation.
