Summary
The Preston County Board of Education unanimously approved expulsion diversion plans for two students on June 4 after holding separate executive sessions; both approvals followed superintendent recommendations and passed on 5-0 votes.
The Preston County Board of Education voted unanimously on June 4 to approve expulsion diversion plans for two students after holding separate executive sessions.
At the start of the meeting, the board moved to discuss an expulsion diversion plan for Student A and voted to enter executive session for the hearing. The superintendent then recommended that the board approve Student A’s diversion plan; Mr. Kisner moved to approve and Mr. Hovatter seconded. An electronic vote recorded a 5-0 approval.
Later in the meeting the board recessed while awaiting the arrival of Student B and reconvened at 4:51 p.m. The board again moved into executive session for Student B’s expulsion hearing. The superintendent recommended approval of Student B’s diversion plan; Mr. Kisner moved, Mr. Hovatter seconded, and the board again approved the recommendation by a unanimous vote (recorded as 5-0).
The transcript records that no formal action was taken during either executive session itself; both approvals occurred after the board returned to open session on the superintendent’s recommendation.
Procedural motions and voting were recorded by the board’s clerk, and motions to adjourn were moved by Mr. Hovatter and seconded by Mrs. Nos. The meeting began at 4:00 p.m. and adjourned at 5:21 p.m.; the board set its next meeting for Monday, June 8.
The board did not identify the students by name in the public record. Details of the diversion plans and any conditions attached to them were not specified in the public transcript.
