Board accepts superintendent’s expulsion recommendations after executive session
Summary
Following a closed executive session on expulsions, the Ansonia Board of Education returned to open session and voted unanimously to accept the superintendent’s recommendations; no student names or details were disclosed in the public minutes.
The Ansonia Board of Education entered executive session at 7:47 p.m. on March 12 to discuss expulsions and, upon return to open session, voted to accept the superintendent’s recommended expulsions.
The motion to enter executive session carried 5–0. After the executive session, the Board moved to accept the superintendent’s recommendations regarding expulsions; that motion also passed unanimously (5–0). The public minutes do not include student names or details of the cases discussed, as expected given confidentiality for student disciplinary matters.
Board members voting in favor included President Rich Bshara, David Knapp, Beth LaBarge, Chris Phipps and Sharon Voroschak. The Board did not disclose specifics about the expulsions in the meeting minutes; administration and Board policy will govern any required notifications to families and law enforcement as applicable.
