Following a closed hearing requested by a parent under Section 8(b), the Mason Consolidated Schools Board of Education voted to permanently expel a student on Oct. 1. The board entered closed session at 6:40 p.m. (roll-call: Waller, Fowler, Otting and England voted yes) and reconvened to approve a resolution to expel; the motion to offer the preamble and resolution was made by John Waller and supported by England, and the roll-call votes were Waller-Yes, Fowler-Yes, Otting-Yes, England-Yes. The motion carried 4-0.
The minutes state the expelled student's identity is known to the board and that the resolution is consistent with board procedures. The public minutes do not include details of the incident or the text of the resolution, and the board cited the statutory basis for private consideration of student discipline under Section 8(b).
