Board Adds NEOLA Policy Updates on Student Discipline to Agenda for Second Read
Summary
The board added NEOLA policy recommendations PO 0142.3 (term) and PO 5610 (emergency removal, suspension and expulsion of nondisabled students) as second‑read items; the minutes record the addition but do not report final adoption outcomes.
Cedar Springs administration requested that NEOLA 2025 Spring/Summer policy update recommendations — specifically PO 0142.3 and PO 5610 — be added to the agenda for second reading. The board voted to add those discussion items to the agenda during agenda adoption; the minutes identify the policies by code but do not record the board’s final action on the policy language at this meeting.
PO 5610 addresses emergency removal, suspension and expulsion procedures for nondisabled students; PO 0142.3 is noted in the minutes as 'TERM' but the minutes do not include the policy text or specific changes. Because the minutes summarize agenda actions, the policy language and any proposed edits are not available in the minutes and must be referenced in the administration packet or a subsequent meeting for full details.
The record shows the board intended to consider the NEOLA updates as second‑read items; whether the board later adopted the policies is not recorded in the Oct. 27 minutes.
