Board votes to expel students in two separate motions; clerk records 9–0–2 tallies
Summary
The board approved two expulsion motions Dec. 4 for students cited for serious offenses (weapons-related conviction and multiple alleged violations including drugs, threats and hate speech); the clerk recorded identical tallies and announced the motions carry.
At the Dec. 4 meeting the board considered two separate motions from Mr. Frisch to confirm expulsions for students found to have committed serious offenses.
The first motion described a student convicted of a weapons-related offense that must be disclosed to the division superintendent; the motion was seconded and carried following roll-call procedures.
A second motion addressed a student alleged to have possessed and used a controlled substance on school property, brought marijuana and paraphernalia onto campus, made implied written threats, engaged in hate speech in writing, and participated in gang activity that endangered others. That motion was seconded and the clerk read the roll-call vote. The clerk later announced the vote tally as 9–0–2 and stated that the motion carries for both expulsions.
Board procedure: The motions were made under action item for confirmation of action taken in closed session. The clerk read votes and announced the motion carries; two members were recorded as not voting on the roll calls cited earlier in the meeting.
