School board affirms expulsion in closed appeal review
Summary
The St. Charles Parish School Board voted to affirm an ad hoc committee’s recommendation to uphold the expulsion and sanctions for “student number one”; one board member said he would abstain because he did not attend the appeals hearing.
The St. Charles Parish School Board on Feb. 25 moved to affirm the ad hoc committee’s recommendation to uphold the expulsion and sanctions for “student number one.” Miss Karen Budro made the motion to approve the committee’s recommendation and Mr. Ray Greson seconded it.
At the start of discussion, board member Mr. Smith said he would abstain from voting because he had not been present for the appeals hearing and “did not hear the student’s presentation.” After the board called the vote, the chair announced the motion carried.
The board record in the meeting indicates the board considered the ad hoc committee’s report under cited state authority for student expulsions (LRS 17:416). The transcript does not include additional public testimony or a detailed summary of the committee’s factual findings during the meeting minutes read-aloud. The motion was made during the business portion of the agenda and recorded as approved; the transcript does not list an individual roll-call vote for every member beyond the one abstention noted.
Next steps: The board’s recorded action affirms the prior disciplinary determination and preserves the ad hoc committee’s sanctions. The transcript does not state any further administrative or appeal timeline for the student.
