Summary

At the meeting the board approved an attorney-added agenda item to continue a pupil's suspension for 60 days, require regular counseling with proof to administration, require psychiatric clearance, and bar the pupil from school property and school events during the suspension.

The board voted to approve an added agenda resolution that continues a pupil’s suspension for 60 days and sets conditions for potential return.

Under the resolution introduced by the district attorney, the pupil must undergo regular counseling with proof provided to high school administration, obtain psychiatric clearance, and is prohibited from being on school property or attending school-sponsored events during the suspension. The administration will revisit placement and potential return at the end of the 60-day period based on regular attendance, compliance with the terms of the resolution, and psychiatric clearance.

The item was added to the agenda as an attorney motion and the board approved the meeting agenda with the addendum on a roll-call vote. A subsequent motion to move the students agenda section passed by roll call; members recorded affirmative votes during the students-item roll call (the transcript records affirmative votes from members present). The motion text in the transcript framed the action as a temporary, condition-based suspension and directed administrative follow-up.

The board did not state the pupil’s name during the meeting; the transcript refers to the person as "the pupil." No further hearing or public evidentiary record is included in the meeting transcript.
