Board votes to permanently expel student for 180 days after closed-session review
Summary
Following a closed session under MCL 380.503, the Chelsea School District board voted March 10 to permanently expel Student 2024-2025-1 for 180 days after considering the seven statutory factors. The motion passed unanimously.
The Chelsea School District Board of Education moved into closed session March 10 under MCL 380.503 to consider student discipline. After returning to open session, the board considered Action Item 70-24-25 and voted to permanently expel Student 2024-2025-1 for 180 days.
The meeting record states: "The Board has considered the seven determining factors required by law regarding expulsion and after review, recommends Student 2024-2025-1 be permanently expelled from the Chelsea School District for 180 days." Michelle Craig moved to permanently expel Student 2024-2025-1 and Eric Wilkinson seconded; the motion passed by recorded vote of 7—0.
Because the matter was handled in part during a closed session authorized by statute, the public record in the minutes is limited to the board's formal action and the statutory citation allowing closed discussion (MCL 380.503). The transcript identifies the student only by the district's internal case identifier (Student 2024-2025-1); the board did not disclose identifying personal details in the public minutes.
