Cornwall‑Lebanon board votes to expel Cedar Crest student for weapons‑policy violation
Summary
The board voted unanimously to expel Cedar Crest High School student 252603 for violating the district weapons policy for up to one calendar year and directed administration and the solicitor to prepare a written adjudication explaining appeal rights and continuing‑education options.
At its Nov. 17 meeting, the Cornwall‑Lebanon School District board approved a motion to expel Cedar Crest High School student 252603 after the administration found a violation of the district weapons policy.
Board chair Mrs. Schlegel read motions accepting the administration’s recommendation: “I make a motion to accept with the recommendation of administration to expel the Cedar Crest High School student 252603 from the Cornwall Lemons School District for a period of up to 1 calendar year, but allow the superintendent the discretion to modify the consequence.” The motion was seconded and the board voted 9–0 in favor.
The board also authorized and directed the district solicitor and administration to prepare a written adjudication to be signed by appropriate school district representatives and to provide an explanation about appeal rights and continuing education for the student "as promptly as possible," language included in the motion. That motion also passed 9–0.
The action taken at the Nov. 17 meeting is a formal disciplinary adjudication authorized by board motion; the transcript does not provide details of the incident, investigation findings, or any proposed educational‑placement alternatives. The board noted there was no need for an executive session on the item during the meeting.
Next steps: the solicitor and district administration will prepare the written adjudication and documentation of appeal rights and continuing‑education options for the student and family.
