III. Student Reenrollment Issues
A. Lincoln High School Student – Gordon Howard
Mr. Howard reported that there is a student who has moved into District 93 boundaries who was expelled from Taylorview Middle School for a year because of alleged
gang affiliation. The student wants to enroll at the eCenter. Since the student was expelled from another school district, the Board needs to make the determination of
whether to allow the student to enroll in the District. Mr. Howard stated that he had reviewed the student’s records and interviewed the student and his parent and feels
comfortable with allowing the student to enroll. When asked how supportive the parents were, Mr. Howard stated that they are very supportive. He doesn’t perceive the
student to be a threat. He would place the student in the middle school curriculum in NovaNet. to help build his skills. They will do a Star Test to find the student’s math
and reading skills. Mr. Howard feels like we should give the student a chance. The board agreed on condition of a readmission contract with the student and his
parents.
B. Telford Student – Nicole Hart
Ms. Hart reported that she had interviewed the parent and student 11-G. The student has had no formal schooling for a year since expelled. She stated that Sexual
Predator Evaluation is beyond her scope and asked for a suggestion of someone who could perform the evaluation. DeVere Hunt suggested Dr. Horton. Ms. Hart is
concerned with aggressive behavior that could escalate into sexual behavior. The student is impulsive and has some attention issues. The student does not want to
attend Telford, is showing remorse, and will be off probation at the end of the month. Ms. Hart reported that student 11-G is a moderate risk for aggression. The Board
imposed the need for a Sexual Predator Evaluation and it needs to be completed before the student is admitted back to school. The Board will provide financial support
for the evaluation and will review the determination before making the decision of whether to allow student 11 -G readmittance to District schools. Ms. Hart will finish her
part of the evaluation and submit a written copy to the Board.
