School board rejects short-term expulsion, approves year-long expulsion for middle school student
Summary
After a closed-session discipline hearing, the Boyne City Board of Education voted down a motion to expel a middle school student for the remainder of the first semester but approved expulsion for the remainder of the 2024–25 school year in a subsequent unanimous vote.
The Boyne City Board of Education held a closed student-discipline hearing on Oct. 14 and ultimately approved a year-long expulsion for student #24-25-01.
An initial motion, made by Board member Joel Schraw, sought to expel the student for the remainder of the first semester; that motion failed 1–6 (Schraw: Yea; Riley Cope, Savannah Hrenko, Zareena Koch, Mary Towne, Jill Towne-Patton and Sara Ward: Nay). In a second motion, brought by Savannah Hrenko and seconded by Sara Ward, the board voted unanimously 7–0 to expel the student for the remainder of the 2024–25 school year. The board had recessed for a five-minute break after the discipline decisions and reconvened to continue the meeting.
The actions recorded in the minutes indicate the board followed the district's closed-session process for student-discipline hearings; the minutes identify the student only by the internal case number #24-25-01 and do not include factual details of the misconduct in the public record.
