Appeals

The parent/legal guardian of a student who has been expelled shall have the right to submit a request for review by the Superintendent’s designee. Such a request must be made in writing within five days after the decision is rendered, or the hearing decision is final. Further appeal may be made to the School Board. The School Board may affirm, modify, or reverse the action previously taken. The parent or legal guardian of the student may, within ten school days, appeal to the judicial district court an adverse ruling of the School Board upholding the action of the Superintendent or designee. The Court may reverse or revise the ruling of the School Board upon a finding that the ruling of the School Board was based on an absence of any relevant evidence in support thereof.
