SF Board approves multiple stipulated expulsions; closed session authorizes settlement authority in two OAH cases

During its Nov. 14 meeting the San Francisco Board of Education approved a series of stipulated expulsion agreements for individual students and reported actions from closed session regarding litigation.

The board moved and approved multiple stipulated expulsion agreements (listed as matters in the 2023–2024 series). Each motion described the student's status (suspended expulsion for defined periods, placement at district schools or county programs) and was seconded and approved by roll call. The transcript records unanimous roll‑call votes (seven yeses) on each motion.

After returning from closed session President Bogus reported that in three matters of anticipated litigation the board, by a vote of 7 yeses, gave direction to general counsel. In the matters of student K.O. v. SFUSD, OAH case number 2023090364, and student B.T. v. SFUSD, OAH case number 2023080241, the board, by a vote of seven yeses, gave the district authority to pay up to the stipulated amounts. The board also unanimously approved the recommendation of general counsel in Superior Court case CGC‑22‑601451.

The board did not disclose settlement amounts in open session; the transcript shows the board gave authorization for counsel to proceed within stipulated amounts in the named cases. The decisions were reported as the readout from closed session; no additional public deliberation occurred about the substance of those litigation matters in open session.

Formal vote tallies recorded during roll calls show consistent unanimous approval for the expulsion motions and the closed‑session authorizations. The board indicated more expulsion votes would be included in roll‑call procedures when reconvened from closed session if needed.
