SFUSD board approves three stipulated expulsions; board reports litigation settlement authority

The San Francisco Unified School District Board of Education, meeting in closed session, approved three stipulated expulsion agreements and later reported actions taken under closed session that included authorization to pay stipulated settlement amounts in two legal matters.

President Bogus moved to approve a stipulated expulsion agreement for a high‑school student (Matter number 2023‑2024‑Number02), with the expulsion effective the day after the order and covering the remainder of the Fall 2023 semester. The board recorded a roll‑call vote in which Commissioners Alexander, Fisher, Lam, Metamiti, Sanchez, Vice President Weisman Ward and President Bogus voted yes; the motion passed, recorded as seven ayes.

The board approved a second stipulated expulsion agreement for another high‑school student (Matter number 2023‑2024‑Number03), with enforcement of the expulsion suspended for the Spring 2024 semester as described in the agreement. A third stipulated agreement, covering one middle‑school student (Matter number 2023‑2024‑Number04), was approved to cover the remainder of Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters. Both motions passed by roll call with seven yes votes.

In the closed‑session readout, the board reported that it had waived a conflict in one litigation matter (vote 7–0) and gave direction to the general counsel on matters of anticipated litigation, including one item in which Commissioner Fisher recused herself. The board said it authorized the district to pay up to the stipulated amount in KLK v. SFUSD (San Francisco Superior Court No. CGC‑21‑589106) and in an Office of Administrative Hearings case, OAH case number 2023080260.

The board concluded the closed‑session report and proceeded to a public workshop on student outcomes and progress monitoring.

Details not specified in the public readout — including the exact dollar figures for the settlements and some procedural specifics about the agreements — were recorded in the closed session minutes and the district’s legal files.
