Board announces expulsion of one student, reinstates another after closed session
Summary
After closed session, the Sunnyvale School District board announced it voted to expel student 144855 through the 2024–25 school year and to return student 134776 to full enrollment for 2024–25. The readouts were given in open session with no further public deliberation recorded.
The Sunnyvale School District board announced in open session that it followed a panel recommendation to expel student 144855 through the last school day of the 2024–25 school year and separately voted to return student 134776 to full‑enrollment status for 2024–25.
"In closed session, the board voted to expel student 144855 until the last school day of December of the 2024–25 school year," the board president said when announcing the outcomes. She also stated that the board "voted to return student 134776 to fully enroll status for the 2024–25 school year." The board did not detail disciplinary evidence or motion language in open session beyond those announcements. Education Code 48918(c) was cited as the governing code for expulsions during the meeting's procedural overview.
The announcements followed public comment earlier in the meeting about student safety and bullying; district leaders did not take questions about the closed‑session decisions in public. The board indicated the closed‑session vote tracked panel recommendations and that the matter would remain confidential beyond the summary actions announced.
