JTHS Board votes to expel three students, assigns placements and durations
Summary
The Joliet Township High School District 204 board approved expulsions in three separate disciplinary cases (W252610, W252611, C252612), each motion presented in public session after executive‑session deliberations. One student was expelled until January 2027 with placement at Lincoln School; two others until June 2027 (one placed per IEP, one at Lincoln School).
The Joliet Township High School District 204 Board of Education voted on Dec. 16 to expel three students following review of hearing officer reports and executive‑session deliberations.
Board member (speaker identified in the transcript as Mister Coffey) made motions for each recommended expulsion. For case W252610 he said: "I make a motion under case number W252610 recommending expulsion until January 2027 and placement at Lincoln School." That motion was seconded and passed by roll call. For case W252611 the motion recommended expulsion until June 2027 with placement in accordance with the student's Individualized Education Program; that motion was seconded and approved. For case C252612 the motion recommended expulsion until June 2027 and placement at Lincoln School; it was also seconded and approved.
The board's public‑session votes followed the process described on the record: after reviewing the hearing officer's report and executive‑session deliberations the board convened in public to make formal motions and vote on expulsions. The motions recorded the recommended durations and placements; specific details of the underlying incidents were not read into the public transcript.
