Summary
The board voted to expel students 0147, 0496 and 3184 for the remainder of the 2024–2025 school year. Two expulsions followed closed appeal hearings and executive session discussion; board member Kevin Tipton left prior to those sessions.
The Cabot School Board voted Nov. 19 to expel three students for the remainder of the 2024–2025 school year.
Administrators presented expulsion recommendations for student 0147, which the board upheld in public session (motion by Corey Williams, second by Marvin Jones; vote recorded 7-0). Representatives for students 0496 and 3184 requested closed appeal hearings. After hearing statements from both sides, the board moved into executive session to discuss each case and later reconvened in public session. The board voted to expel student 0496 (motion by Marvin Jones, second by James Hertzog; vote 7-0) and to expel student 3184 (motion by James Hertzog, second by Corey Williams; vote 7-0) for the remainder of the school year.
Board minutes show that Kevin Tipton left before the executive session hearings. Mr. Byrd announced appeals and the board recorded the votes as listed above. The meeting minutes do not provide further discipline details or the factual bases for the expulsions; appeals were heard in closed session as requested by the representatives.
