RSU 57 board votes to expel Student A indefinitely, administration to prepare roadmap for reentry
Summary
After entering executive session under 1 MRSA §4056(b), the RSU 57 school board voted to expel a student indefinitely and directed administration to prepare a roadmap for reentry.
The RSU 57 school board entered an executive session at 7:29 p.m. on March 25 "to discuss a student matter pursuant to 1 MRSA §4056(b)," the chair announced. In executive session, a board member identified in the meeting record as Beth moved to expel "Student A" indefinitely and include a roadmap for reentry; the motion was seconded and carried.
"I motion to expel Student A indefinitely with a roadmap for reentry," the board member said during the executive session. The chair later told the public the motion carried and that administration would 'speak from here on out' to put the roadmap together.
The board took the action in executive session pursuant to the state statute cited by the chair; the record does not disclose details of the underlying conduct because the matter was discussed in closed session. The administration was instructed to prepare the conditions for reentry and follow existing district procedures for disciplinary actions.
What’s next: Administration will work with the board to finalize the roadmap and any conditions for the student’s return to school; the board did not provide a public timeline beyond the direction to prepare the roadmap.
