Summers County board holds executive session, accepts superintendent’s recommendation for student expulsion
Summary
After a closed executive session under West Virginia Code 6-9A-4 and the Safe Schools Act, the Summers County Board of Education voted to accept the superintendent’s recommendation for expulsion; the board did not disclose identifying details about the student.
The Summers County Board of Education met in a closed executive session on June 9 under West Virginia Code 6-9A-4 to consider a student-discipline matter. After reconvening in public, the board announced it had voted to accept the superintendent’s recommendation for expulsion. The minutes record the action but do not identify the student or provide case details.
Board members said the meeting moved into executive session at 6:06 p.m. under the statutory provision cited for student-discipline deliberations. The board’s public record notes the vote to accept the superintendent’s recommendation; the minutes do not list further factual findings or identify witnesses and make clear the case was handled under the Safe Schools Act confidentiality provisions.
Because the board conducted its deliberations under the statutory executive-session exception for student discipline, the record released at the meeting contained only the formal outcome. The board scheduled no further public action on this matter at the June 9 meeting.
