The Fennville Public Schools Board of Education voted unanimously to expel three middle school students for the remainder of the 2025–2026 school year following a closed-session discipline review.
The board moved into closed session at 7:31 p.m. on Feb. 16, 2026, to discuss student discipline after a motion by board member Jayson Hicks, supported by Juliet Michele. The board returned to open session at 7:51 p.m. and then approved three separate motions—each moved by Hicks and supported by Michele—to expel Student A, Student B and Student C for the remainder of the current school year. Each motion passed by roll-call vote, Ayes: Michele, Hicks, Hapke, Sanchez; Nays: none (4–0 unanimous).
Minutes record the expulsions but do not provide details about the incidents or recommended educational alternatives; the motions and roll-call tallies are the formal recorded outcomes. The board’s action follows the closed-session discussion authorized by the motion earlier in the meeting, and the expulsions are effective immediately as recorded in the meeting minutes.
No additional procedural steps, appeals deadlines, or alternate placements were described in the minutes. The district’s minutes identify the students only as Student A, Student B and Student C.
