Royse City ISD board denies expulsion appeal, affirms designee's order
Summary
The Royse City Independent School District Board of Trustees denied an expulsion appeal filed by Brandy Wallace after a closed-session hearing and instructed district administration to review whether the student may return before the last day of school if academic, behavior and attendance standards are met.
The Royse City Independent School District Board of Trustees denied an expulsion appeal filed by Brandy Wallace and affirmed the expulsion order issued by the board's designee after conducting the hearing in closed session.
A board member moved to "deny the relief, expulsion appeal, thereby affirming the expulsion order issued by the board's designee." The motion was made by Trustee Mike and seconded by Trustee Cindy; the chair called a voice vote and announced the motion approved. The hearing and vote were conducted under provisions the chair cited from the Texas Government Code allowing closed deliberations on student discipline.
Trustee Mike said the board expected administration to "conduct a formal review and determine whether the student may return to campus, if the student demonstrates appropriate academics, behavior and attendance" before the last day of school. That expectation was included as part of the board's direction while affirming the expulsion.
The meeting record shows no public comments were submitted on the appeal. The board adjourned immediately after announcing the vote. The board cited Texas Government Code provisions allowing closed hearings for student discipline matters during the process.
