Board approves 45-day suspension for minor student after executive session
Summary
In a Sept. 26 special meeting, the Weatherford Board of Education unanimously approved a 45-day suspension for a minor student after meeting in executive session citing confidentiality under 25 O.S. Sections 307(B)(5) and (B)(7).
Weatherford Board of Education members voted unanimously on Sept. 26, 2024, to accept the administration's recommendation to suspend a minor student for 45 days. The board convened in executive session earlier in the meeting to "hear evidence and discuss the suspension of a minor student," citing confidentiality provisions in 25 O.S. Sections 307(B)(5) and (B)(7). The motion to accept the suspension was made by Dennis Green and seconded by Bryan Bayless; the vote was recorded as Yea: 5, Nay: 0.
The special meeting was held at the Weatherford Schools Administration Office, 1409 Cypress, and attendance was recorded at 9:06 a.m.; members listed present were Bryan Bayless, Matt Fast, Dennis Green, Chris Gregston, and Kyle King. The minutes show the board voted to convene to executive session at 9:07 a.m., and later returned to open session before taking the suspension vote. The minutes include a clerk's certification that the meeting notice was filed with the Custer County clerk and posted at least 24 hours in advance. No identifying details about the student were included in the minutes, consistent with the cited confidentiality provisions.
