Board approves long‑term suspensions for two students after closed‑session certification

Following the board’s certification of a closed session on a student‑investigation matter, a board member moved to long‑term suspend student EX20252026 number 13 for 364 days and place the student in alternative education beginning in the 2026–27 school year under conditions set by the superintendent. The motion was seconded and the clerk recorded affirmative roll‑call responses.

The same member then moved to suspend student EX20252026 number 14 for 364 days with placement in alternative education under a superintendent‑determined contract; that motion was seconded and approved by roll call as well.

The motions were introduced as actions arising from a closed session conducted under the scholastic‑record exemption in the Virginia code. The motions direct implementation through superintendent action to establish the terms of the students’ alternative education contracts; the motions as recorded do not include the contractual details, which were described as to be "determined by the superintendent." No further specifics about the facts of the underlying disciplinary matters were given on the public record at the meeting, consistent with the closed‑session exemption cited.

Board members who participated in the roll call recorded affirmative votes when the clerk read the names; the meeting record shows no recorded public comments on these expulsions during the open portion of the meeting.
