Board votes to expel Student A for instigating; reinstatement petition window set
Summary
The Board expelled Student A for a Level IV violation (Instigating) of the White Pine Middle School Student Code of Conduct. The minutes say Student A may petition the Superintendent Level Hearing Committee for reinstatement for the 2025–2026 school year by the second week of July 2025.
The Saginaw Township Board of Education voted April 7 to expel Student A after the Human Resources report described a Level IV violation at White Pine Middle School classified as "Instigating." Board member David Booth offered the motion to expel; Jenean Coughlin seconded and the motion passed on a roll call vote of the members present.
The board record states: "that the Board of Education expel Student A due to a Level IV violation of the White Pine Middle School Student Code of Conduct for Instigating. Student A may request reinstatement for the 2025-2026 school year by petitioning the Superintendent Level Hearing Committee by the second week of July 2025." The minutes do not include further factual detail about the underlying incident, evidence presented, or whether the student or family spoke; those details were not specified in the meeting record.
The expulsions were handled under the district’s student conduct policy (White Pine Middle School Student Code of Conduct). The minutes record the disciplinary outcome and the administrative path for possible reinstatement but do not list additional appeals or legal steps in this entry.
