Cabot board upholds two expulsions; one appeal heard in executive session
Summary
The board upheld administration recommendations to expel two students for the remainder of the first semester; student 0803’s appeal was heard in closed session and the board allowed return to ALE at the end of the expulsion with reintegration at administration discretion.
The Cabot School Board voted Sept. 16 to uphold administration recommendations to expel two students for the remainder of the first semester of the 2025–2026 year.
The board upheld the expulsion of student 1095 on a 6-0 vote (motion by Joe Trusty, second by James Hertzog). The administration presented the case and the board recorded the vote to follow the administration’s recommendation.
The board then moved into executive session to hear an appeal from student 0803 and the student’s mother. After the closed hearing the board again voted 6-0 (motion by Marvin Jones, second by Joe Trusty) to uphold the administration’s recommendation to expel student 0803 for the remainder of the first semester but granted district administration authority to reintegrate the student into classes and activities at the administration’s discretion; the board specified the student would return to ALE at the end of the expulsion period.
Why it matters: Expulsion decisions remove students from regular school settings and may affect their educational progress; the board recorded that it followed administration recommendations in both cases and used executive session for the appeal hearing as requested by the family.
The meeting record does not include detailed allegations or the specific incidents that led to the expulsions; the transcript notes the presence of the student and the mother for student 0803’s appeal and the board’s final rulings.
