Kewanee board votes to expel Student B-2026 through August 2027
Summary
Following closed-session deliberations, the Kewanee Community Unit School District No. 229 Board voted unanimously on March 23 to expel Student B-2026 until August 2027 on the superintendent's recommendation; the minutes provide no factual details about the conduct leading to the expulsion.
The Kewanee Community Unit School District No. 229 Board of Education approved an expulsion of Student B-2026 through August 2027 during its March 23 special meeting. Superintendent R. Baney recommended the expulsion in open session after a closed-session deliberation on student disciplinary matters.
Member Steffen moved to approve the expulsion and Member Salisbury seconded. The roll-call vote recorded Members Dev, DeBord, Christiansen, Salisbury, Steffen, DeMay and President Jeff Johnson voting "aye"; the motion carried with no recorded nay votes. The minutes do not include details of the incident or any terms beyond the length of the expulsion.
The action followed an executive session held under provisions of the Illinois Open Meetings Act that allow closed deliberation on student-discipline cases. The board then toured the district's new addition at Kewanee High School and adjourned the meeting at 6:52 p.m.
Because the minutes do not provide factual findings or the nature of the conduct that led to the expulsion, the district record here is limited to the motion and the board's recorded vote.
