Chesapeake School Board approves expulsion of student 71026EDash1
Summary
After a closed session, the board unanimously adopted Superintendent Dr. Cotton’s recommendation to expel student number 71026EDash1 under the conditions discussed; the motion was moved by Mr. McCormick and seconded by Mr. Colon.
The Chesapeake School Board voted in open session to approve Superintendent Dr. Cotton’s recommendation that student number 71026EDash1 be expelled under the conditions discussed in closed session. "I recommend that student number 71026EDash1 be expelled under the conditions discussed," Dr. Cotton said when presenting the recommendation.
The motion to approve the recommendation was moved by Mr. McCormick and seconded by Mr. Colon; the board then voted and the chair announced the motion carried with all board members present voting yes. The recommendation came out of a closed session convened under the authority of the Code of Virginia §2.2-3711(A)(2) and (A)(3) for student disciplinary and real-estate matters.
Because the discussion and recommendation took place in closed session, board members did not debate details of the disciplinary finding in open session. The board’s action implements the expulsion "under the conditions discussed," as stated by the superintendent. The board did not provide additional public details about the conditions during the open meeting.
The board’s approval concludes the item brought back from closed session and no further action was announced at the meeting.
