Mayfield Independent School Board expels student “A,” records online services
Summary
At its Sept. 20, 2023 meeting the Mayfield Independent School Board held an executive-session student-discipline hearing and recorded a determination to expel student “A” with online services; motions to enter and leave executive session and to adjourn were passed unanimously.
The Mayfield Independent School Board met Sept. 20, 2023, at the board office and, after entering executive session, recorded a determination to expel student "A" and provide online services for the remainder of the school year.
Board Chair Michelle Arnett called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. The board voted at 5:05 p.m. to enter executive session “to conduct a student discipline hearing” on a motion by board member Martha Wynstra, seconded by board member Larry Jackson; the motion carried unanimously, according to the minutes.
The minutes state that the board determined that student "A" would be expelled and would receive on-line services for the remainder of the school year. The record shows the meeting returned to open session at 5:36 p.m. on a motion by Wynstra, seconded by Jackson, which also carried unanimously. The minutes do not record a roll-call vote or provide additional detail about the disciplinary findings discussed in executive session.
After returning to open session the board adjourned at 5:37 p.m.; the adjournment was moved by Larry Jackson, seconded by Martha Wynstra and unanimously approved.
Because the disciplinary hearing took place in executive session, the minutes provide only the actions taken (the determination to expel student "A" and the provision of online services) and do not include the factual basis or evidentiary details discussed in the closed session. The minutes identify the affected student only as "A."
