Board votes to long-term suspend one student and expel another after closed session
Summary
After returning from closed session, the Roanoke County School Board moved to long-term suspend student EX2025-2026 #18 and to expel student EX2025-2026 #19; both motions carried by unanimous vote of members present.
After reconvening from closed session, the Roanoke County School Board voted on two personnel actions involving students.
Board member Mr. Greenway moved that the board come out of closed session to discuss a student matter under the scholastic-record exemption to Virginia’s open-meeting law. Following that certification, the board approved a motion to long-term suspend student EX2025-2026 number 18. Later the board approved a motion to expel student EX2025-2026 number 19 from Roanoke County Public Schools. The transcript records the motions and roll-call affirmations by board members Dr. White, Mr. London, Mr. Greenway and Miss Clemens.
The motions were presented as formal actions arising from the closed meeting; the board recorded votes but the transcript provides no additional factual detail about the incidents, the length or conditions of the suspension, or appeals rights for the students. The board did not discuss specifics in open session during the roll call beyond the motion language.
Because these actions originated in closed session, the district’s public record and discipline procedures govern further disclosure; no additional case details were provided in the meeting transcript.
