The Effingham CUSD 40 Board of Education opened its meeting at 8:39 a.m. and approved a personnel list before voting to expel two students for the remainder of the 2023–24 school year and the entire 2024–25 school year.
Board leadership asked for a motion to approve the personnel list; the motion was seconded (recorded in the transcript as "Second by Chad") and roll-call responses in the record include Andrew, Jeff, James and Benjieff each recorded as "Yes." The motion to approve the personnel list carried by the roll-call responses recorded in the transcript.
The board then took up disciplinary items. An unnamed speaker introduced a motion "to approve the expulsion of student a for the remainder of the 2023–24 school year and the entire 2024–25 school year." The motion was recorded as made by Andrea and seconded by Erica. Roll-call responses in the transcript show the following recorded votes: Jill — yes; one speaker — no; one speaker — abstain; Deja — yes; Steve — yes; Erica — yes; Andrew — yes. The transcript records the overall tally from that roll-call as seven yes, one no and one abstention.
The board next moved on to a separate expulsion. An unnamed speaker asked for a motion "to approve the expulsion of student b for the remainder of the 2023–24 school year and the entire 2024–25 school year." The transcript records the motion by Steve and a second by Andrew. Recorded roll-call responses include Deja — yes; Steve — yes; Erica — yes; Andrew — yes; Joe — yes. Those recorded responses indicate the motion carried.
Following the personnel and disciplinary votes, the board sought a motion to adjourn at 8:40 a.m. A motion was made and seconded (the transcript records "Motion by Andrew" and multiple "Yes" responses), and the meeting was adjourned shortly thereafter.
The transcript supplies no meeting date and provides only brief roll-call exchanges; the record names multiple board members and records motions and roll-call outcomes but includes limited explanatory discussion about the reasons for the expulsions or any appeals process.
Actions recorded in the transcript include approval of the personnel list, two expulsions (for "student a" and "student b") and adjournment. The transcript does not provide additional materials, legal citations, or written motions beyond the brief spoken motions and roll-call responses.
