Calexico Unified reports two suspensions-with-remediation, extends meeting to 9:30 p.m.

Calexico Unified reported that the board approved suspension-with-remediation outcomes for two student-discipline cases and voted to extend the meeting to 9:30 p.m., according to remarks made from the dais.

Mister Jimenez, speaking as the board reported its closed-session actions, said the board "took action to approve the suspension of expulsion with the remediation plan for student discipline case number 2526003," and announced that vote as "a vote of 5 to 0, unanimous." He also reported a separate approval for student-discipline case number 2526006, saying "the board took action to approve the suspension of expulsion with a remediation plan, for student discipline case number 2526006," and reading the vote sequence as "by a vote of 4 2 1." Earlier in the announcements, Jimenez stated that a motion was made by Mister Navidas and seconded by Mister Contreras to extend the meeting to 9:30 p.m.; the speaker also read an earlier numeric sequence as "5 2 0" while reporting that extension.

The board’s announcements identify Trustee Contreras and Trustee Avena as the mover and seconder, respectively, for the action on case 2526003, and identify Trustee Avena as mover and Trustee Contreras as seconder for the action on case 2526006. The transcript records those attributions but does not capture full first names or additional details about the disciplinary cases beyond the case numbers given.

After the closed-session announcements, President Navidas moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded and the chair announced, "Motion passes 5 0," and the meeting concluded with members exchanging brief closing remarks.

Why it matters: Student-discipline actions recorded as suspensions-with-remediation change the immediate status of the named cases and typically set conditions for a student’s continued education; because these items were acted on in closed session the board released only the outcome and case numbers, not the underlying facts that led to the disciplinary decisions. The transcript includes inconsistent readouts of vote tallies during the clerk’s report; the article presents the vote counts as they were announced, and notes where the readouts are unclear.

What’s next: The board did not provide additional public details about the disciplinary cases during the open-record remarks in the supplied transcript; no further public actions or hearings on these specific case numbers were recorded in the provided segment.
