Adams 12 board affirms superintendent's expulsion decision after executive session
Summary
After recessing into executive session to discuss a student expulsion appeal under district policy and Colorado statute, the Adams 12 Five Star Schools Board returned to open session and voted to affirm the superintendent's decision regarding the expulsion; no student name was disclosed in open session.
The Adams 12 Five Star Schools Board moved into an executive session to receive legal advice and discuss a student expulsion appeal under board policy and Colorado statute and later returned to open session to take formal action.
During open session after the executive session, a board member moved to affirm the superintendent's decision regarding the student expulsion discussed in executive session; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with Directors Assad Lucas, Battistelli, Goldstein and Potter recorded as "Aye." The district did not disclose the student's name or additional disciplinary specifics in open session, consistent with statutory privacy protections for student disciplinary matters.
The board cited board policies and Colorado statutory authority (as recited at the meeting) for entering executive session and for discussing student matters in closed session. The board did not provide further details about the expulsion in open session.
