Nye County School Board votes to permanently expel student with Pathways distance-education exception
Summary
Following a closed session, the Board amended a proposed two-year expulsion to a permanent expulsion but allowed distance-education access through Pathways; the motion passed 6–0 with one abstention (Mrs. Campos cited a conflict).
The Nye County School District Board of Trustees voted on Nov. 13 to amend a proposed two-year student expulsion to a permanent expulsion, while explicitly allowing the student access to distance education through the district’s Pathways program. President Bryan Wulfenstein made the motion to amend the length of the expulsion; Trustee Chelsy Fischer seconded. The motion passed with six ayes and one abstention (Trustee Leslie Campos abstained citing a conflict of interest).
The Board acted after a closed-session review that began at 7:45 p.m. under Nevada Revised Statutes governing the character or alleged misconduct of a person (NRS 241.030) and collective-bargaining discussions (NRS 288.220). Regular session resumed at 8:36 p.m., and the Board announced its open-session action. The Board recorded the specific exception that the permanent expulsion does not preclude the student’s participation in distance education through Pathways.
The vote establishes the Board’s formal disciplinary outcome for the case described in closed session. The transcript does not provide the student’s name, the detailed allegations, or the evidentiary record presented in closed session. The Board did not disclose further details in open session. Any appeal rights, timelines, or administrative follow-up were not specified in the public record of the meeting.
