Board approves expulsion of student, orders placement outside district

The Bonita Unified School District Board of Education voted to expel student number 160304267 for the remainder of the 2024–25 school year and the first semester of 2025–26, with the student to be placed in a program outside the district. The recommendation was presented under the Education Code and the board moved and approved the recommendation by voice vote.

The chair introduced the disciplinary item and read the recommendation that the student be expelled and placed outside the district for the specified period. A board member moved the motion, a second was recorded, and the chair called for the vote. Board members responded "Aye," and no opposition was recorded on the transcript.

The board's action followed the district's stated recommendation; no further details about the incident, alternate placements, or appeal rights were provided during the public portion of the meeting. The transcript lists the student by district identification number only. The board did not provide additional factual details in open session about the conduct that led to the expulsion, nor did it specify the receiving program by name at the time of the vote.

Next steps recorded in the meeting: the motion passed and the board continued with other agenda business. Any procedural appeals or further administrative steps were not described in the open-session remarks recorded in the transcript.
