The appellant filed motions with the Child and Family Services Review Board appealing a school board's decision to expel a student.
The appellant argued the expulsion should be overturned because the decision was not made within the 20-day statutory timeline and notice was not provided promptly.
The Board dismissed the timeliness motion, finding the decision was made on the twentieth day and notice was provided promptly the following day.
The Board granted the appellant's motions to expedite the hearing on the merits and ordered the school board to disclose written and videotaped evidence to ensure procedural fairness.
