School board upholds two expulsions after recorded roll-call votes

The Dinwiddie County School Board voted to uphold the administration’s recommendations to expel two students identified in the record as EDash04Slash26Dash1 and EDash04Slash26Dash2 for posing ‘‘a threat to the health and safety and welfare of others.’”

Board member (mover) S5 made each motion and a board member seconded both motions. The board called for roll-call votes; the clerk conducted the roll calls and the chair announced that each motion carried. The transcript records the motions, the roll-call procedure, and the chair’s announcement that the motions carried; it does not provide a full, named tally in the public transcript excerpt.

Nut graf: The expulsions were considered under the standard administration recommendation process; the motions were presented as actions to protect safety and were approved after roll-call votes. The board did not include additional public deliberations on alternative sanctions in the transcript excerpt.

Board procedure and next steps: The motions were recorded as carried. The board’s action upholds the administration’s recommendation; the transcript does not state whether the district will release additional findings or notices to families beyond the formal vote.

Ending: The meeting proceeded afterward to other routine business, including expenditure report approvals and field-trip motions.
