Sheridan School Board reduces recommended one-year expulsion to time served
Summary
At a Nov. 13 special meeting, the Sheridan School District board voted 6-0 to change an administrative recommendation to expel a student for one year to a disposition of time served in out-of-school suspension; the action followed a closed hearing and the board later entered a brief executive session.
The Sheridan School District Board of Education on Nov. 13 voted to reduce an administrative recommendation to expel a student for one calendar year to time already served in out-of-school suspension. The decision came during a closed student-expulsion hearing held at a special called meeting in the McKenzie Hall Board Room.
Board President Jeff Lisenbey presided over the meeting. Board member Stan Hancock moved to modify the administration's recommended one-year expulsion to time served; the motion was seconded by Jacob Palmer, the board secretary, and the board approved the motion by a 6-0 vote.
The board entered an executive session at 7:38 p.m. and reconvened at 7:46 p.m.; the minutes provide no additional details about the subjects discussed in that executive session. The meeting was adjourned at 7:48 p.m. after a motion by President Jeff Lisenbey. The meeting minutes are recorded with signatures for Jeff Lisenbey, President, and Jacob Palmer, Secretary.
The minutes do not identify the student or provide factual details that led to the administration's original recommendation; the record indicates only that the board acted to reduce the recommended expulsion to time served. No further hearings or appeals are stated in the minutes.
