The Twin Rivers Unified Board of Trustees moved several student expulsion cases in closed session and reported the results when it reconvened in open session. Clerk announcements and roll-call votes recorded motions for cases labeled a63-25 through a68-25; board members moved and seconded the items and the clerk announced the vote tallies and outcomes.
During the open session report the clerk said the board took action on personnel-related items and read the closed-session disposition for resolution number 1527, reporting "7 yes, 0 nos, 0 abstain, and 0 absent." Later, the clerk ran roll-call votes on multiple student-expulsion motions: motions were generally moved by trustee Bastian and seconded by trustee Sandoval; for several numbered cases the clerk announced that the motion "carries." For one early expulsion motion recorded in the transcript the clerk and participants indicated the motion failed after a 3-3 tally and the clerk said "You didn't pass." That matter remained without a passage recorded in the open-session announcements.
The board did not read the full confidential hearing record in open session; the clerk announced only formal motion text, mover/second information and the yea/nay tallies. The transcript contains the roll-call confirmations (for example: "Motion made by trustee Bastian, seconded by trustee Sandoval; Trustee Sandoval? Yes. Trustee Bastian? Aye. Trustee O'Kara? Aye. Trustee Boyd? Aye. Trustee Rachel? Yes. And trustee Jefferson's a yes. Motion carries.") and parallel formats for other named cases. The board did not provide additional public detail about evidence or sanctions for the expelled students in the open portion of the meeting.
Next steps: the clerk's announcements constituted the district's public reporting of board action. Any appeals, eligibility changes, or further administrative follow-up were not detailed in the open record during the meeting.
