The Negaunee Public Schools Board of Education voted 7‑0 on Feb. 4, 2026, to permanently expel Student A, while permitting the student to apply for re‑admission at the start of the 2026–27 school year under specified criteria.
Board member Greg Toutant moved to expel Student A following a closed student disciplinary hearing. The board had moved into closed session for that hearing at 9:08 a.m. after Parent A requested the hearing be held in closed session; the board reconvened to open session at 10:47 a.m. The expulsion motion passed on a roll call vote, 7 ayes, 0 nays.
Superintendent Andy Skewis explained the next steps to the board, including a meeting between Parent A and Principal Becky Walters and delivery of a document that lists the criteria Student A must meet to be considered for reinstatement. The minutes record that those criteria will be provided to Parent A; the minutes do not specify the contents of the criteria.
The action was recorded in the minutes as a formal board resolution. No public comments were recorded at the meeting about the discipline matter. The board adjourned at 11:15 a.m.
