Creve Coeur SD 76 board finds student guilty, expels but holds expulsion in abeyance and orders transfer to regional safe school
Summary
On Feb. 19, 2026, the Board of Education of Creve Coeur School District No. 76 voted 5-0 to find Student No. 25-04 guilty of gross misconduct under the Illinois School Code, expel the student for the remainder of 2025–26, then hold that expulsion in abeyance to allow an administrative transfer to the Tazewell County Regional Safe School and place the student on probation through 2026–27.
The Board of Education of Creve Coeur School District No. 76 voted on Feb. 19, 2026, to find Student No. 25-04 guilty of "gross misconduct" under the Illinois School Code and to expel the student for the remainder of the 2025–2026 school year. The motion finding guilt and ordering expulsion carried on a roll-call vote of 5–0, with Val Ragon, Mason Shear, Amanda Stimeling, Pam Greiner and Linda Bailey voting yes; Brenda Keogel and Brandon Lang were absent.
President Linda Bailey then moved, and Pam Greiner seconded, a related motion to hold the expulsion in abeyance to permit an administrative transfer of Student No. 25-04 to the Tazewell County Regional Safe School and to place the student on probationary status for the 2025–2026 and 2026–2027 school years. That motion also passed 5–0. The board recorded that "Student 25-04 be and is hereby expelled from Creve Coeur School District No. 76, for the remainder of the 2025-2026 school year" and further provided that any future suspendable offense will require the student to appear before the board for review.
The board had entered executive session at 6:01 p.m. for a student disciplinary hearing after a motion by board member Val Ragon, seconded by Pam Greiner, and resumed regular session at 6:27 p.m. Superintendent Johnson and Principal Yocum were noted as present for the special meeting, which convened at 6:00 p.m. and was adjourned at 6:32 p.m.
The board's actions place the student in an alternative placement (Tazewell County Regional Safe School) while keeping the formal expulsion on the record but inactive so long as the transfer and probation conditions are met. The district recorded no dissenting votes on the motions.
Next procedural steps recorded in the minutes include the student's administrative transfer and the probationary conditions; the minutes do not provide the student's name, the nature of the misconduct or details of the hearing transcript.
