Mercer board considers revision to expulsion policy
Mercer Poevins Board of Education held a first reading on a revision to the policy governing exclusions, suspensions, and expulsions with no action taken. The change would set deadlines for review and allow case designation for extenuating circumstances while preserving superintendent discretion for earlier reviews. The board also approved raising adult meal prices in cafeterias, from 2.00 to 2.50 for breakfast and 2.50 to 3.00 for lunches, with no plans to raise student meal prices.
