Board holds first reading of expulsion policy; administrative rule flow chart updated
Summary
Superintendent James Owens presented a first reading of Policy JGE (Expulsion); the Board reviewed updated Administrative Rule flow chart that reflects current practice and requested additional information before final action at a later meeting.
Superintendent James Owens presented a first reading of Policy JGE (Expulsion) on May 14 and the Board discussed procedural language and the updated Administrative Rule that now includes a revised flow chart.
Owens said the policy was initially introduced in 2023 and that the proposed policy text remains unchanged from the prior version, but the accompanying Administrative Rule now includes an updated flow chart that "more accurately reflects current practices," according to the superintendent. Board members asked why the AR language referenced "students or district employees" rather than broader terminology; staff clarified the phrasing comes from statute and the Board requested further consideration of inclusive language.
The item was recorded as a first reading; the Board agreed to gather more information and return the policy for additional review at the May 28 meeting.
