Board approves expulsions with conditions after closed student-discipline hearings
Summary
After two closed-session student-discipline hearings, the board voted to expel two students (identified in the public record by student numbers) for the specified terms and set reentry conditions including completion of assigned school work, a counseling program, and parental progress updates to district staff.
The Clintondale Community Schools Board of Education approved expulsions for two students following closed-session discipline hearings on April 24, placing conditions on reentry and academic continuation.
When the board returned to open session late in the meeting, the president reported the first expulsion recommendation for student number 1750115603: the student must complete all assigned school work during the expulsion period, complete a counseling program, and the student's parents must provide regular progress updates to the district contact named in the record. A motion reflecting those conditions was seconded and carried in roll call vote.
A second student-discipline matter (student number 5750000180) resulted in a similar expulsion recommendation: the student must continue assigned school work, provide progress reports to the superintendent, and satisfy a counseling program; the board recorded the expulsion as 180 days and approved the recommendation on a roll call vote.
Board members stressed that the expulsions carried educational and counseling conditions and described the decisions as intended to keep students accountable while offering a path for reentry if requirements are met. The board did not discuss identifying details about the students in public beyond the record'ed student numbers and the stipulated conditions.
Next steps: District staff will monitor compliance with the counseling and academic requirements and receive periodic updates from families and staff per the board's instructions.
