M.N. v. Morgan Hill Unified School District CA6
In March 2015, the principal of Martin Murphy Middle School in Morgan Hill recommended that M.N. (then, a 13-year-old boy in the seventh grade) be expelled. The recommendation was based upon allegations that M.N. had committed sexual assault or sexual battery upon a 13-year-old female student on multiple occasions while the two of them were riding on a School bus. An administrative panel of the Morgan Hill Unified School District conducted an evidentiary hearing and recommended that M.N. be expelled from the District for one calendar year, finding that he had committed or attempted to commit sexual assault or committed sexual battery, and also committed sexual harassment. The District’s Governing Board (Board) adopted the panel’s recommendation. M.N.’s administrative appeal to the Santa Clara County Board of Education (County Board) was denied.
