Board accepts superintendent's recommendation to place student E006 in day ALC program
Summary
After an executive session, the board accepted the superintendent's recommendation to place student E006 in the district's day Alternative Learning Center for up to two consecutive semesters with nine-week reviews; the recommendation allows for reduced expulsion time if the student succeeds and alternative placements if behavior continues.
Following an executive session on a student discipline matter, the Gilmer County Schools Board voted to accept the superintendent's recommended placement for student E006.
Dr. Manning, the superintendent, recommended that "student E006 based on the evidence be placed in the day ALC program at Gilmer County Schools board office if space is available for no more than 2 consecutive semesters." The superintendent said reviews should occur every nine weeks and cover attendance, behavior and grades; if the student meets success criteria the superintendent may shorten the expulsion period, and if disruptive behavior continues the district should change placement to an after-school ALC or a homebound program.
The board first moved into executive session to conduct the expulsion hearing and later rose from executive session. A motion to accept the superintendent's recommendation was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the chair recorded "motion carries" in the transcript. The board did not announce roll-call tallies in the public transcript.
The action implements a placement plan rather than an expulsion to a non-district setting and includes periodic reviews. The district will follow established procedures for placement and monitoring; the transcript does not specify notice, appeal rights or additional steps beyond the nine-week review requirement referenced by the superintendent.
