Butch Lewis, Principal Richard Cilley
Joel Chagnon, Vice Principal Todd Lefebvre
Mother and student JC came
before the Board. Introductions followed. Chairman Yurick advised the Mother and
student of their right to counsel and their right to be heard in Public Session.
Mr. Lewis explains that
Student JC is coming before the board for having a knife in school. A few
classmates, of the student, told the teacher that the student had a condom in
his pocket. When the teacher asked the student if he brought something to school
that he shouldn’t, the student produced a knife from his pocket. He also gave
the teacher the condom. Mr. Yurick asked JC to
explain what occurred at school today. The student explained that he found his
brothers knife in his room that morning. He put the knife in his pocket and
forgot about it. Later he realized that it was in his pocket, and was going to
give it to the teacher. The teacher then asked him to come up front, and asked
him if he brought something in that he should not have in school. He gave the
knife and condom to the teacher. Mr. Lefebvre explained to the student the
policy regarding knives in school, and referred to the handbook that the
students are given. The student states that he was aware of the policy, and that
is why he gave up the knife. Mom also questions the child, and he repeats the
story. Mr. Yurick explains to the parent and student how serious this offense
is, and asks for the Board’s recommendation. Mom and Student were asked
to step out while the Board discusses the matter. Recommendation: That the one
week suspension would be excessive due to the fact that the student did
surrender the knife. A two-day suspension would be appropriate. There is no
current policy regarding the condom. MOTION: Steve Yurick motions
to approve recommendation. SECOND; Dave Vachon VOTE; Unanimous Mother and Student asked to
return. Mr. Yurick explains the decision of the Board. Mother and Student left the
meeting. MOTION: Steve Yurick motions
to come out of Non- Public session. SECOND: Rich Cilley VOTE:
Unanimous by roll call at 7:19 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Karen /Dunham/Secretary Back to Top |
