Board approves suspension of student after executive session
Summary
After an executive session, the Lodi Board of Education voted to suspend a student (ID 304378) for the remainder of the 2025–26 school year through graduation; the recommendation came from the superintendent and the board approved an addendum (OI‑5).
The Lodi Board of Education voted to approve an addendum (OI‑5) authorizing the suspension of a student identified in the motion as bearing identification number 304378 for the remainder of the 2025–26 school year through graduation. The clerk read the resolution into the record, noting that the superintendent had recommended the suspension and that the details had been discussed in executive session.
The motion to add OI‑5 to the agenda was moved and seconded; a roll call vote followed and all voting members present—Miss Alcala, Mister Bautista, Mister Cannizzaro, Mister LaFranca, Miss Salvation and Miss Cardone—voted yes. President Cardone recused herself from a separate personnel item earlier in the meeting but participated in the OI‑5 vote as recorded.
The board did not discuss the underlying facts of the suspension in the open session, citing that the substantive details were reviewed in executive session. The clerk read the public motion language: “whereas the superintendent of schools has recommended the suspension of a student bearing identification number 304378 for the remainder of the 2025–26 school year through graduation,” and the board approved the resolution as added to the agenda.
Because the matter was handled in executive session, the public record does not include the disciplinary details discussed there. The board’s formal action was limited to approving the recommendation presented by the superintendent; next procedural steps were not announced in open session.
