Summary

At public comment, a parent said school disciplinary documents contradict the police report, alleging her son was wrongly identified in a hockey suspension; she asked the district to explain differences between school findings and official records.

During public comment, Megan Gross addressed the board about a hockey suspension involving her son, saying the district's disciplinary determination conflicts with the police report and other records.

Gross said the police report identifies the conduct attributed by the school to a different student and that her son was never interviewed by police. She also raised discrepancies in dates cited in school allegations that, she said, do not align with attendance or other documentation. Gross urged the district to explain the factual basis for differences between school determinations and official records and emphasized that disciplinary decisions should be grounded in verified facts and consistent procedures.

The board acknowledged the comment and the need for procedural accuracy; no detailed administrative response was given on the record during the public comment period. The item may be raised further in closed session items addressing student discipline or through follow‑up with district administrators.
