Therefore, the School Board has determined that Student E171802’s suspension is upheld; and the student is expelled for the remainder of the 2017-2018 school year. However, the student’s expulsion shall be held in abeyance for so long as the student successfully attends and completes the safe schools program or another program selected by the District in lieu of expulsion. Should the student and his/her parent or guardian elect to attend the Safe Schools program, they need to sign the Agreement for Attendance at the Safe Schools Program in the form previously approved by the Board of Education. At the close of the first semester of the 2017/2018 school year, the student may return to school with probationary status, provided the student has met all of the requirements of the Safe Schools program.
