Pulaski County board approves two expulsions and one long suspension after closed session
Summary
After certifying a closed session, the Pulaski County School Board approved expulsions for two students for 365 days and suspended a third student for the remainder of the year with restricted reenrollment on 05/14/2026.
The Pulaski County School Board on May 13 approved three disciplinary actions recommended after a closed session. School staff recommended that student number 8604235 be expelled for 365 days with a reenrollment‑entry meeting on May 14, 2026; the board moved, seconded and approved the recommendation. "I'd like to recommend to the school board members that student number 8604235 also be expelled for 365 days with an entry reenrollment entry meeting on 05/14/2026," the staff member told the board.
The board then approved a second expulsion. Staff recommended that student number 8603573 be expelled for 365 days with a reenrollment‑entry meeting on May 14, 2026, and the board voted to accept that recommendation. Finally, the board approved a disciplinary recommendation for student number 8604306: suspension for the remainder of the school year and placement at Pulaski County High School's Cougar Center for the first semester with no participation in activities over the summer or during the fall semester. "I'd like to recommend that student number 8604306 be suspended for the remainder of the school year and then start the first semester at Pulaski County High School in the Cougar Center with no participation in any activities over the summer or during the fall semester," the staff member stated.
All three recommendations were moved, seconded and approved by the board during the meeting after the chair certified the closed‑session proceedings. The board did not provide identifying student names in public minutes; the actions were recorded by student ID number and include a scheduled reenrollment meeting for the two expulsions on May 14, 2026.
The meeting record shows formal motions and roll‑call responses accepting the superintendent's recommendations; specific mover/second names were not specified in the public transcript. The board said the disciplinary items originated from the closed session conducted "in accordance with the code of Virginia section 2.2 dash 37, 12."
