Board upholds superintendent’s recommendation in student expulsion after executive session
Summary
After moving into executive session to hear an appeal, the board voted to uphold the superintendent’s recommendation to uphold a student expulsion. The motion to uphold was moved by Mr. Martin and carried by the board.
The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board moved into executive session Nov. 20 to hear an appeal of a student expulsion. After deliberation in closed session, the board returned to open session and voted to uphold the superintendent’s recommendation to uphold the expulsion.
Board member Mr. Martin moved to uphold the superintendent’s recommendation; the motion was seconded by Ms. Soule (as recorded in the meeting). No public comments were made on this confidential item prior to the executive session. The secretary announced that the motion carried.
Because the item required executive session, the board did not disclose specifics of the student’s case in open session. The board’s action preserves the superintendent’s prior disciplinary decision and follows the board’s stated process for appeals and executive-session hearings.
