Board upholds two expulsion review committee recommendations after executive session
Summary
After an executive session under Kentucky law, the Nelson County board voted to uphold two expulsion-review-committee recommendations for student placements for the 2627 school year (students 3474 and 6962).
The Nelson County Board of Education convened an executive session on May 12 pursuant to KRS 61.81(c) to discuss student discipline and then returned to open session to take formal action.
Following the executive session the board considered recommendations from the expulsion review committee and voted to uphold the committee's recommendation to enroll student 3474 in Thrive Academy for the 2627 school year. The board then voted to uphold option A for student 6962 for the 2627 school year. Both motions were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
The board cited KRS 61.81(c) when convening briefly in executive session; personnel and student-discipline matters were discussed in closed session consistent with that citation. The board made its disciplinary decisions in open session after the executive-session deliberations.
Next steps: the decisions will be implemented according to the expulsion review committee recommendations and district procedures. The board did not discuss additional public details about the incidents in open session.
