Board votes to permanently expel student after closed-session hearing
Summary
After a closed-session hearing under Section 8(b), the Mason Consolidated Schools Board of Education voted 4-0 on Oct. 1, 2025 to permanently expel a student; the decision followed a closed hearing requested by the student's parent.
On Oct. 1, 2025, the Mason Consolidated Schools Board of Education voted 4-0 to permanently expel a student following a closed-session hearing held under "Section 8 (b)" to consider dismissal, suspension or discipline of a student.
The motion to offer the preamble and resolution was moved by John Waller, supported by England, and passed by roll call with Waller, Fowler, Otting and England voting yes; Grodi, Smith and Nehrig were absent. The closed session began at 6:40 p.m. and concluded at 7:05 p.m., according to the minutes.
The minutes record that a parent requested the closed session but do not identify the student or provide details of the allegation or supporting evidence. The board's entry states only the formal outcome — permanent expulsion consistent with the resolution — and the roll-call vote. The transcript does not specify any appeal rights, effective date, or additional sanctions related to the expulsion.
The board adjourned at 7:09 p.m. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Nov. 5, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. in the Mason Senior High School Library.
