III.    APPROVAL OF AGENDA

 

 

IV.    PUBLIC FORUM

Open forum is a specific time set-aside during School Board Meetings for members of the public to communicate to the board, even if they are not on the agenda. To participate in the open forum, please sign in on the clipboard before the meeting is called to order.

Guidelines for the open forum:

- When your name is called, please stand. Remember to state your name, address and the organization you represent. Please limit your comments to five minutes, with a maximum of 15 minutes per topic. These limitations are needed to run a timely and orderly board meeting.

- Most information about students is also private under Minnesota law. The Board cannot allow public discussion of information that could identify individual students.

- Personnel matters should not be discussed because most of those issues are private under Minnesota law. If you have a concern with a district staff member, try to resolve the issue with the individual. If you cannot resolve the issue, follow the district's chain of command.

- The School Board is eager to listen to your remarks; however, Board Members are not able to debate issues that arise during the open forum. The forum is an opportunity for the citizens to speak and the board to listen. Items brought before the Board through the Public Forum may be answered immediately if the information is known, or referred either to the Administration or to a Board Committee for further study.  If issues presented at Public Forum need further Board action and are unrelated to the current meeting agenda, the item will be placed on a future agenda for action.

- We urge participants in the forum to model civil, respectful speech on topics appropriate for the forum.  Thank you so much for your willingness to present your thoughts and questions to us. (See School District Policy 206 Public Participation in School Board Meetings for further information.  This policy, in its entirety, can be found under Policies on the School District Web site.)

WHEREAS, the Student and his parent were served the written notice of the School District’s intent to initiate expulsion proceedings, and such notice was accompanied by a copy of the Pupil Fair Dismissal Act, Minn. Stat. §§ 121A.40-121A.56, as required under the Act; and

WHEREAS, the Student and his parent elected to waive the scheduled hearing with the understanding that by such waiver, the proposed terms of expulsion would be submitted for action to the School Board of Independent School District No. 912.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the School Board of Independent School District No. 912 as follows:

The School Board hereby accepts the waiver of hearing executed by the Student’s parent, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.

By reviewing the record relating to this matter, the School Board hereby finds that, due to the nature of the conduct engaged in by the Student, the terms of the expulsion proposed by the School District are reasonable and appropriate.

The School Board of Independent School District No. 912 hereby orders that the expulsion of the Student be imposed immediately pursuant to the Pupil Fair Dismissal Act, Minn. Stat. §§ 121A.40-121A.56.  Said expulsion shall be imposed in accordance with the written notice provided to the Student and his parent, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
