Creve Coeur SD 76 board finds student guilty, orders administrative transfer and probation
Summary
The Creve Coeur School District No. 76 board unanimously found Student No. 25-05 guilty of gross misconduct and voted to expel the student for the remainder of the 2025–2026 school year. The board then held the expulsion in abeyance to allow an administrative transfer to the Tazewell County Regional Safe School and placed the student on probation for two school years.
President Linda Bailey and the Creve Coeur School District No. 76 Board of Education voted March 16, 2026, to find Student No. 25-05 guilty of gross misconduct and to expel the student for the remainder of the 2025–2026 school year. "The Board of Education of Creve Coeur School District No. 76 finds that Student No. 25-05 was guilty of gross misconduct, as set forth in the Illinois School Code and in violation of School Board policies; it is further determined that Student No. 25-05 be and is hereby expelled from Creve Coeur School District No. 76, for the remainder of the 2025-2026 school year," President Linda Bailey moved, with Brandon Lang seconding the motion. The motion passed on a roll call vote with six yeas and no nays; Amanda Stimeling was recorded as absent.
After the guilty finding, the board voted unanimously to hold the expulsion in abeyance so the student could be administratively transferred to the Tazewell County Regional Safe School. The board's subsequent motion placed the student on probationary status for the 2025–2026 and 2026–2027 school years and specified that any future suspendable offense would require the student to appear before the board for review. That motion was made by President Linda Bailey and seconded by Brenda Keogel.
The board convened the disciplinary hearing in executive session, with the meeting minutes noting the board entered executive session for a student disciplinary hearing at 6:03 p.m. and resumed open session at 6:36 p.m. Superintendent Johnson and Principal Yocum were listed as present for the special meeting. The board adjourned at 6:39 p.m.
The board's actions reference the Illinois School Code in the motion language; the minutes do not specify a statutory citation number or additional procedural details about the disciplinary findings beyond the motions and resulting placement.
