Mother requests closed session; board discusses closed-session procedures
Summary
At the start of the Sept. 4 hearing the Mother of the student requested the board enter a closed session to discuss potential disciplinary action; the board entered closed session at 6:13 p.m. and returned to open session at 8:20 p.m.
At the beginning of the expulsion hearing the board explained that the hearing discussion could be held in closed session but that any vote would have to occur in open session. "The Mother asked for a closed session," according to the meeting record; Treasurer Roderick Means moved and Vice President Angela Hopkins seconded the request to enter closed session to discuss potential disciplinary action against Student 2025-01.
The board entered closed session at 6:13 p.m. The minutes show the board later adjourned the closed session and returned to open session at 8:20 p.m., at which point the board conducted the public vote to impose suspension. The record specifies that votes on disciplinary action were taken in open session as required by board procedure and law.
