IUSD board approves two expulsions after closed-session student-discipline hearings
Summary
The Irvine Unified School District board approved staff recommendations to expel two students after a closed-session review of discipline matters under Education Code Sections 35146 and 48918; each student will be referred to an Orange County Department of Education community day school, with one case allowing possible reinstatement under conditions.
The Irvine Unified School District board voted to approve staff recommendations to expel two students following a closed-session review of student-discipline matters. The board announced the actions under Education Code Sections 35146 and 48918 and took formal motions to adopt the recommended outcomes.
Board members approved the expulsion of case number 03H-2526 for the remainder of the 2025–26 school year and the first semester of 2026–27. The district will refer that student to an Orange County Department of Education community day school; the student will be eligible to seek reinstatement to IUSD in the second semester of 2026–27 contingent on a behavior contract and completion of rehabilitation items. The specific school for possible reinstatement will be determined at the reinstatement meeting.
The board also approved expulsion case number 04H-2526 for the remainder of the 2025–26 school year. That student will be referred to ACCESS, a community day school operated by the Orange County Department of Education; the district recorded that the student will not be permitted to return to IUSD following completion of the twelfth-grade year in June 2026, and any potential fifth year would be at the sole discretion of ACCESS.
Both expulsions were handled by motion and voice vote during the meeting; the board recorded the motions, seconds, and ‘aye’ votes that carried each action. The board’s public comments noted that students referred to community day schools will be provided alternative-education resources per district procedures.
No further case details were disclosed during the public meeting. The district cited the Education Code sections governing closed-session discipline hearings; the board’s formal actions and outcomes were announced at the meeting.
