Board votes to expel three students, stays two expulsions with alternative placement
Loading...
Summary
After reviewing hearing-officer reports the board approved expulsions for three students: one expelled but stayed so the student may attend Lincoln School until reenrollment in Jan. 2027, a second expelled through June 2027 with placement to be determined by the IEP team, and a third expelled but stayed with reenrollment possible in June 2027.
The board acted on student‑discipline recommendations at the Dec. 16 meeting following review of hearing officer reports.
Board member Dan Coffey outlined the standard considerations the board must make when deciding expulsions, including the safety of the school community and whether interventions were exhausted. Coffey moved to expel Student W252610 from all District 204 programs through January 2027; the board stayed the expulsion to allow the student to continue education at Lincoln School and recorded that the student may reenroll in January 2027. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Lynn and passed unanimously.
The board then voted to expel Student W252611S from all District 204 programs until June 2027 with placement to be determined by the student's individualized education program (IEP) team; that student may reenroll in June 2027. The motion passed on a unanimous roll call.
Finally the board moved to expel Student C252612 until June 2027, stayed so the student may continue at Lincoln School for the duration of the recommended expulsion, with reenrollment in June 2027. The motion passed unanimously.
The minutes do not provide details of the underlying offenses in the public summary; the board record notes that the decisions followed deliberations in closed session and that expulsions were considered in light of the hearing officer's report and applicable policies.
