Board approves expulsion with shortened term, allows temporary transfer for Case No. 01H-2526

The Irvine Unified School District Board of Education voted unanimously Sept. 9 to expel Case No. 01H-2526 while shortening the term and permitting the student to transfer to ACCESS for the first semester of the 2025–26 school year. The motion, made by Board Member Lauren Brooks and seconded by Board Member Cyril Yu, approved staff’s recommendation regarding discipline and placement.

According to the agenda summary, the student “will be eligible to reenroll in the Irvine Unified School District, specific school to be determined, for the second semester of the 2025-2026 school year with a behavior contract in place, pending completion of rehabilitation items.” The decision was taken after the Board’s closed-session review of the case under Education Code Sections 35146 and 48918(c).
