4/28/26 Special Meeting

The Gilmer County Board of Education held a special meeting on April 28, 2026, primarily to conduct a student expulsion hearing. The board went into executive session to review the case and then reconvened to discuss the superintendent's recommendation. The superintendent recommended expelling a student for up to 365 days based on a violation of West Virginia state code involving physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature with a school employee. The board voted to accept the superintendent's recommendation, including provisions for periodic review of the student's progress and potential reduction of the expulsion based on attendance, academic performance, and behavior. No procurement, contracting, or budget matters were discussed during this meeting.
