Royse City ISD trustees consult legal counsel in closed session over expulsion appeal
Summary
Board trustees met in closed session on March 25, 2026, under Texas Government Code —51.071, —51.082 and —51.0821 to consult with counsel and conduct an expulsion appeal hearing for Student C.W.; the board reconvened in open session and acted to deny the appeal.
During a special meeting on March 25, 2026, the Royse City ISD Board of Trustees recessed to closed session at 5:02 p.m. to consult with legal counsel and to conduct an expulsion appeal hearing concerning Student C.W. The board cited Texas Government Code —51.071 for legal consultation and —51.082 and —51.0821 for student-discipline proceedings.
After the closed session, trustees reconvened in open session at 7:01 p.m. and recorded a motion to deny the expulsion appeal, upholding the District Hearing Officer's decision with an expectation that there will be a review before the last day of school about the student's eligibility to return in the fall. No additional details about the hearing record or the factual basis for the expulsion were included in the public meeting minutes.
