Chesapeake board approves expulsions and administrative appointments; schedules superintendent interviews
Summary
During closed session the board considered personnel and student matters, approved an expulsion recommendation and a slate of administrative appointments effective July 1, 2026 (with one appointment effective May 4, 2026); Chair announced superintendent interviews scheduled from 05/04/2026 to 05/18/2026.
At its meeting the Chesapeake School Board convened in closed session to discuss personnel and student disciplinary matters under the Code of Virginia. Vice Chair moved the motion citing §2.2‑3711 subsections a.1 and a.2.
Following closed session, the board certified that only authorized topics had been discussed and approved a recommendation to expel student number 50426EDash1 "with services as discussed." The board also approved a list of administrative appointments that staff said will generally take effect July 1, 2026; an additional appointment (Robin Edwards Roberson to assistant principal at EW Chittum Elementary) was noted as effective 05/04/2026.
Superintendent staff read a slate of principal and administrator assignments (naming multiple employees and target schools) and the board approved the appointments by voice vote.
Chair Kim Scott also announced that interviews for the superintendent position will continue from May 4 through May 18, 2026 in accordance with applicable law.
Why it matters: personnel actions change leadership at multiple schools and the superintendent search timeline sets the process for selecting division leadership.
What the record shows: motions to enter closed session, to return and certify the closed meeting, the expulsion recommendation and the administrative appointment slate were moved, seconded and carried as recorded in the meeting minutes. The meeting transcript does not include line‑item vote tallies beyond the recorded voice votes.
