Summary

The Berkeley County Board of Education denied an expulsion appeal for ‘student number 1’ after executive-session consideration; the final public vote on Jan. 26 was 8–1, with Kathy Littleton the lone dissent.

The Berkeley County Board of Education voted 8–1 on Jan. 26 to deny an expulsion appeal filed as “student number 1,” ending the case after private executive-session consideration.

Board member Kathy Littleton moved to accept the appeal and place the student in virtual school, saying, “I move that we move this, accept the appeal and move the child to virtual school.” That motion received no second. Mac McQuillan then moved to deny the appeal, saying, “I move that we deny the appeal of student number 1,” and Ms. Davenport seconded. The board voted 8–1 to deny the appeal; Ms. Littleton was recorded as the sole dissenting vote.

Chair Sally Wofford stated for the record that the board had met in executive session to discuss student discipline and that no action was taken while in closed session. The denial was made after the executive-session discussion and a public vote during the regular meeting.

No additional details about the underlying incident were made public during the meeting, and the board did not announce further administrative steps during the session.
