Summary

The appellant seeks reversal of a decision made by the Des Moines Independent Community School District board denying her request the removal of certain records from her son's file.

The student for suspending for fighting, and the district refused to expunge it from his records. The appellant argued the discipline was imposed without the opportunity for due process. The district did not violate procedural due process in disciplining the student, and there is no basis to affirm the removal of the suspension from the student's record.

The local board's action is affirmed.
