Natchez-Adams School Board Upholds Superintendent on Three Student-Discipline Appeals
Summary
At a special-called meeting Oct. 21, 2025, the Natchez-Adams School District Board of Trustees met in closed session and unanimously upheld the superintendent’s recommended disciplinary outcomes in three student appeals. The board also discussed a separate personnel matter but took no action.
The Natchez-Adams School District Board of Trustees met in a special-called session Oct. 21, 2025, at the Braden Administrative Building and, in closed session, voted to uphold the superintendent’s recommendations on three student-discipline appeals.
Dr. Cecile Dianne Bunch moved "to Uphold the Superintendent's Recommendation" on the appeal labeled OCT1; Mrs. LLJuna Grennell Weir seconded the motion. The roll-call vote recorded Mrs. Weir, Dr. Brenda Robinson, Dr. Cecile Dianne Bunch and Board President Amos James Jr. as voting "yea," and the motion passed 4-0.
The board then took identical action on two additional appeals. For appeal OCT2, Dr. Bunch moved and Mrs. Weir seconded a motion "to Uphold the Superintendent's Recommendation," which the board approved 4-0. The same motion language, again moved by Dr. Bunch and seconded by Mrs. Weir, carried 4-0 on appeal OCT3.
The agenda item listing references Policies JCAA and JDA in connection with student-discipline appeals. The transcript identifies Superintendent Zandra McDonald as the administrative staff associated with the item.
The three motions were recorded as formal roll-call votes each showing unanimous support from the four trustees present. The minutes do not specify the disciplinary measures recommended by the superintendent or the underlying facts of the appeals; those details were not included in the meeting record provided.
After the closed-session business, the board returned to open session and adjourned at 3:55 p.m.
