Summary

The board approved a petition from the reinstatement committee to reinstate an expelled student; one board member abstained because of a personal connection and the resolution provides that a copy be given to the student and parent.

The board considered a petition for reinstatement filed on behalf of an expelled student (document references student number). The reinstatement committee recommended approval based on the report presented. The formal resolution read: "The petition for reinstatement filed on behalf of student 2526‑A is hereby approved," and directed that a copy of the resolution be provided to the student and the parent.

During discussion, a board member said they were too close to the situation and would abstain; the chair accepted the abstention. The roll call showed the required affirmative votes and the motion to reinstate was approved.

The action was procedural and ministerial in nature: the board voted to implement the reinstatement committee’s recommendation; no additional conditions or disciplinary modifications were recorded in the meeting minutes. The board preserved the student’s privacy in public comment and directed the district to deliver the resolution to the family.
