RSU 57 board votes to expel four students indefinitely, sets reentry road maps
Summary
At its April 29 meeting the RSU 57/MSAD 57 school board voted to expel four students indefinitely, each with a stated road map for reentry; the first expulsion vote was recorded 8–6 and the board announced that subsequent expulsion motions carried.
The RSU 57/MSAD 57 school board voted on April 29 to expel four students indefinitely and directed administrators to develop individual "road maps" for each student’s potential reentry.
Anastasia Ferguson, speaking after the board returned from executive session, moved "I make a motion we expel student A indefinitely with a road map for reentry." The motion carried; the board announced an 8–6 vote on that expulsion. The board subsequently moved and approved expulsions for three additional students (identified in the public record as Student B, Student C and Student D), and the chair announced each motion carried. The transcript does not record public roll-call tallies for every expulsion beyond the first announced 8–6 count.
Board members conducted the disciplinary deliberations in closed executive sessions pursuant to 1 M.R.S.A. §405(6)(B), and the board returned to public session to announce the motions and the outcomes. The chair said administrators will follow up with each family to implement next steps.
The public transcript preserves the motions and the chair’s announcement that administration will work with families on next steps; it does not include individual case details, student names, or the contents of the executive-session deliberations. The board did not disclose the specifics of the incidents that led to the expulsions in the public portion of the meeting.
