APPEAL OF THE ADJUDICATION OF
THE BOARD OF SCHOOL DIRECTORS OF THE WEST SHORE SCHOOL DISTRICT
TO EXPEL BEVERLY RAKE
Plaintiff Gail J. Hake, on behalf of her minor child Beverly Hake,
by and through her attorney, Richard C. Ruben, appeals the adjudication
of the Board of School Directors of the West Shore School District to
expel Beverly Hake for the remainder of the 1994-95 school year on the
grounds of abuse of discretion, violation of due process rights found
under section 13-1318 of the Public School Code, 24 P.S. 13-1318 and 22
Pa. Code 12.6 and 12.8, and violation of West Shore School District
procedure, and in support avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff is the mother of Beverly Hake, an eleventh-grade student
at Cedar Cliff High school, residing at 905 Hummel Avenue, 2nd floor,
Lemoyne, Pennsylvania 17043.
2. Notice of a ten day out of school suspension for violation of Board
Policy 227 - Drug and Alcohol Awareness was mailed by first class mail
to Mrs. Hake on september 9, 1994 and was received by her.
3. Beverly was suspended out of school for ten days on September 8, 9,
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20 and 21, 1994 for violation of Board Policy
227 - Drug and Alcohol Awareness.
4. Beverly made up most school work missed during this suspension and
showed an improved attitude at school.
I
.
....,
,
5. Notice of a formal hearing was sent to Mrs. Hake via certified mail
on september 20, 1994, but was never received by her. She received
notice of the hearing only by telephone from Mr. Robert Gross, Assistant
Principal, Cedar cliff High school on October J, 1994.
6. Mrs. Hake had inadequate time to prepare for the formal hear~ng or
to obtain counsel, and she was in fact dissuaded from obtaining counsel
by Mr. Gross who indicated a likoly positive result and who also
indicated expulsion was not typical unless the Board wanted to "set an
example".
7. The first time Mrs. Hake actually saw a copy of the letter and
enclosures from the School District concerning the formal hearing was
the night of the hearing.
8. A formal hearing was held before the Board committee of the Board
of School Directors of the West Shore school District on october 5, 1994
for violation of Board policies 218, 227 and 2JJ. Plaintiff had no
notice that alleged violations of Board policies 218 and 2JJ would be
adjudicated at the hearing.
8. Plaintiff was not represented by counsel at the formal hearing, and
did not knowingly waive her right to counsel.
9. Plaintiff was unable to call witnesses to testify in her behalf
because she received inadequate notice of the formal hearing.
10. At this hearing, the committee decided to expel Beverly Hake for
the remainder of the 1994-95 school year. The expulsion was effective
October 6, 1994, immediately after the adjudication of the Board
Committee.
11. The decision to expel was ratified by the full Board on October 20,
1994 and notice of the adjudication was mailed to plaintiff on October
24, 1994 and was received by her. A true and correct copy of the
adjudication appealed from is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
12. The adjudication's findings of fact included the information that
Beverly is currently on probation for the possession and distribution of
marijuana. Plaintiff was unaware this charge would be brought up or
used in determining her punishment. This prior incident did not involve
school property or attendance in any way and should not have been
considered.
1J. Board and school policy provides for referral to a student
Assistance Team but at no time was Plaintiff informed of the existence
of the StudEnt Assistance Team or its role of intervention with students
suspected of drug or alcohol problems.

Your Honorable Court has jurisdiction of this appeal pursuant to
Local Agency Law, 53 Pa.C.S.A. 511307.
II. ORDER IN QUESTION
ADJUDICATION ENTERED: "Beverly Hake is el!.pelled from attendance at
Cedar Cliff High School for the remainder of the 1994-95 school year,
effective October 6, 1994, immediately after the adjudication by the
Board Committee. This Adjudication requires that Beverly Hake not be
physically present on the premises of the District during or after
school hours or at any school-sponsored event."
Dated: October 24, 1994
III. STATEMENT OF QUESTION INVOLVED
Was the school board's action arbitrary, capricious and an abuse of
discretion in that its adjudication to expel Beverly was not in
accordance with applicable law and procedure?
SUGGESTED ANSWER: YES.
IV. STATEMENT OF THE CASE
On September 8, 1994 Beverly Hake was late to school. She was
questioned in the presence of her mother and Lower Allen Police Officer
Corporal Hepford and admitted to sharing a marijuana cigarette with two
other students on the way to school. Beverly prepared a written
statement admitting to this. Informal discussions were held at school
I
J
with Mr. Goc, Mr. Gross, Beverly Hake and Gail Hake on September 8,
1994.
On september 9, 1994 Mr. Michael Gross, Assistance principal of
Cedar Cliff High School, wrote a letter to Mrs. Hake informing her of
Beverly's violation of school policy #227, drug and alcohol awareness.
(plaintiff's Exhibit B). He gave notice of an informal hearing
tentatively scheduled for September 12, 1994. He stated that Beverly
was suspended out of school for three days on September 8, 9 and 12, and
for seven more days on September 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20 and 21 unless a
hearing would determine otherwise. His letter stated that the hearing
would be held only if Plaintiff felt the need for a hearing and planned
to attend. He also said a Board hearing would be requested.
Beverly completed her suspension and made up most of the school
work she missed during this period.
On September 12, an incident report was filled out. (plaintiff's
Exhibit C).
On September 20, a letter from Gary Smith, Secretary of the Board
of School Directors was sent to Mrs. Hake by certified mail, return
receipt requested, informing her of a formal hearing scheduled for
october 5, 1994. (Plaintiff's Exhibit 0). This letter was never
received by Mrs. Hake because Mrs. Hake was unable to leave work and
pick it up from the post office. Mrs. Hake was unaware of the formal
hearing scheduled for october 5 until Mr. Gross called her on October 3
and informed her of it.
On October 5, 1994 a hearing was held by the Board committee for
alleged violations of District Policies 218, 227 and 233. Mrs. Hake and
6t
."
Beverly were not represented by counsel and did not present any outside
witnesses. witnesses at the hearing included Mr. Michael Gross,
Assistant Principal of Cedar Cliff High school, Beverly Hake and Gail
Hake. A decision was made to expel for the 1994-95 school year. On
October 20, 1994 the full Board approved this adjudication, and on
October 26, 1994 Mrs. Hake was formally notified of the Board's
adjudication. (Plaintiff's Exhibit E). This appeal followed.
V. SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
Plaintiff appeals the adjudication of the Board of school Directors
of the West Shore School District on the grounds that it violated
Plaintiff's due process rights found under section 13-1318 of the Public
School Code, 24 P.S. 13-1318 and 22 Pa. Code 12.6 and 12.8.
Specifically, Plaintiff did not receive adequate notice of the formal
hearing because the written notice sent by certified mail by the School
District was never received by her. Notice by telephone two days prior
to the hearing was inadequate.
Because Plaintiff did not receive adequate notiue of the hearing,
Plaintiff was unable to obtain counsel, to obtain witnesses to testify
on her behalf or to prepare her own defense. Plaintiff had no prior
notice of all violations that would be heard before the Board Committee.
Plaintiff had no notice that a previous charge would be raised at the
hearing, or that her status of being on probation would be used in
determining her punishment.
Plaintiff also appeals on the basis that the West Shore School
District failed to follow its own procedures. Specifically, Board and
3
-
School policy both provide for referral to a Student Assistance Team for
a student suspected of alcohol or drug abuse. Plaintiff was never
referred to this Team and was never informed of the existence of it.
Plaintiff appeals the decision and punishment as arbitrary and
capricious because she was unaware a first offense of this nature could
lead to such a severe penalty. The Parent-Student Handbook is
ambiguous, leading Plaintiff to believe only a fourth offense would
result in administrative action of this nature. Informal discussions
with the Assistant Principal Mr. Gross led plaintiff to believe
expulsion was not likely unless the School Board "wanted to set an
example. II Plaintiff was punished much more severely than other students
in similar circumstances.
VI . ARGUMENT
The adjudication of the Board of Directors of the West Shore School
District was not in accordance with applicable law or the West Shore
School District · s own policies and procedures. These violations will be
discussed in turn.
First, Plaintiff's notification of the time and place of the formal
hearing before the School Board on October 5, 1994 was wholly inadequate
as required by 22 Pa. Code section 12.8. This section requires that
notice of the charges must be sent to the student's parent by certified
mail, and that sufficient notice of the time and place of the hearing
must be given (emphasis added). Mrs. Hake first learned of the hearing
on October 3 in a phone call from Mr. Gross, only two days before the
hearing was scheduled to take place. Mrs. Hake had been unable to get
<J.
.
to the post office during the hours it was open to pick up her certified
letter.
Mrs. Hake testified at the hearing that she is a general
manager at West Coast Video and that her boss was "very hard about
leaving work. Most nights I don't get off work until 5:00 or 6:00.
I've been working Saturdays until 12:00, 1:00, 2:00."
N.T. p. 22.1
with only two days notice of the time and place of the hearing,
Plaintiff was unable to obtain counselor secure witnesses to testify in
her behalf. Without written notice of the charges against Beverly,
Plaintiff was unable to prepare her own defense. This issue will be
discussed in some detail later. The inability of Plaintiff to secure
counsel was critical, especially given the severity of the punishment.
At many points along the way, the School District knew or should
have known the Plaintiff had not received notice about the formal
hearing. When the school district did not receive a return receipt card
from their certified letter, they knew or should have known Mrs. Hake
had not received the notice. When Mr. Gross called Mrs. Hake on October
3 and she told him she had not picked up the letter, the school district
knew or should have known that Mrs. Hake had not received her notice.
When Mrs. Hake appeared at the formal hearing and stated she had not
been able to pick up the notice, the school district had confirmation
she had not seen the written notice. (N.T. at p.2) According to post
office procedure, a certified letter is returned to the sender after
fifteen days.
This is the ultimate evidence the written notice was
never received by the intended recipient. The school district should
'N.T, is for Notes of the Transcript of the Hearing concerning
Beverly Hake on October 5, 1995.
5
,
have received their certified letter back on or about October 5, 1994.
At any point along the way, the school district could have done
several things to remedy this error, but they did not. They could have
sent Mrs. Hake a copy of the notice by first class mail. They could
have sent a copy of the notice home with Beverly. They could have hand-
delivered a copy of the notice. They could have postponed the hearing.
It was error for the school district to assume constructive notice
of the hearing when the letter was mailed. It was error for the school
district to wait until two days prior to the hearing to give telephonic
notice of the hearing. It was error for the school district to not
provide any written notice of the hearing to Mrs. Hake until the evening
of. the hearing. In a case with somewhat similar facts, a parent denied
receiving a letter of notice of referral of an expulsion matter to the
Superintendent of Schools. A second letter containing notice of a
disciplinary hearing was hand-delivered approximately 24 hours before
the hearing was scheduled to commence. Such notice was judged
inadequate, and the matter was remanded to the school district to hold
a hearing in accordance with the regulations of the State Board of
Education. Minnicks v. McKeesport Area School District, 74 Pa. D&C2d
744, 745 (1975).
The next area where the School District violated its own procedure
was the failure of the School District to notify Plaintiff of all the
charges pending against her, including the elements of due process she
was entitled to. The initial notice sent to Mrs. Hake on September 9,
1994 and received by her listed only violation of board policy 227 _
Drug and Alcohol Awareness. The second notice sent to Mrs. Hake on
(p
,
September 20, 1994 but never received by her listed charges of violatlng
West Shore School District policies 218 - Student Discipline and 233 -
Suspension and Expulsion, in addition to 227 Drug and Alcohol
Awareness. Mrs. Hake had no notice whatsoever of these two additional
charges, and besides being unable to obtain counselor witnesses within
the time of notice of the hearing, she had absolutely no opportunity to
prepare a defense to these additional charges, which she was unaware of
until the very evening of the hearing.
Mrs. Hake never received any notice, either oral or written, of
policy 233, and so she was unaware that she was entitled to due process
requirements including the right to representation by counsel, the
disclosure of names of witnesses and the testimony they have made, and
the right to testify and present witnesses on the student's behalf.
The fact that Mrs. Hake acknowledged receipt of such rights at the
hearing is irrelevant, for the acknowledgement was uninformed. The
transcript states Mrs. Hake took only a moment to read the letter, which
surely does not provide enough time to understand these very important
rights. N.T. at p.2. The fact that Mrs. Hake had not even told Beverly
about the hearing until the day before, and that Mrs. Hake had seriously
considered not even bringing Beverly to the hearing further indicates
that Mrs. Hake had no idea how serious this formal hearing would be and
what the possible consequences could be. N.T. at p.21. Had Mrs. Hake
received notice of policy 218 - Student Discipline, she would have
discovered a range of disciplinaLj options for the School District from
an informal hearing to expulsion. Instead, Mrs. Hake's reliance on the
Cedar Cliff Parent-Student Handbook for 1994-95 led her to believe that
"7
.
a first offense for being under the influence of drugs was up to ten
days suspension, board notification, police notification and parental
conference. She did not believe administrative discretion came into
play until the fourth offense. The table set out on page 7e of this
handbook lends itself to this interpretation. (Plaintiff's Exhibit F).
In additi~n, Mrs. Hake reported an informal conversation with Mr. Gross
on september S, 1994 in which Mr. Gross told her expulsion was not
likely unless the School board wanted to set an example. Mrs. Hake
relied on these assertions and her interpretation of the handbook in
weighing the seriousness of the possible penalties her daughter could
receive, thereby depriving her of information needed to make an informed
decision.
Next, the West Shore School District violated its own policy 227 -
Drug Awareness. On page 3, the policy states that "staff members
suspecting a student of drug or alcohol use or abuse shall refer the
suspected student to the Student Assistance Team for assessment and
possible intervention." (emphasis added) This was not done for
Beverly. The school district states its purpose of the drug awareness
policy is to strive to prevent, identify, intervene and treat these
serious problems, it seems they went right to punishment in plaintiff's
case. The Student Assistance Team program was never mentioned to
Beverly or Gail Bake, and they were unaware of the program's existence
until after the formal hearing. This is particularly pu~zling as Mr.
Robert Gross, who questioned Beverly and testified at her hearing, is
listed as the program coordinator. (Plaintiff's Exhibit G). Through a
conversation with Mr. Goc in October, 1994 Mrs. Bake discovered there
R
were over 100 referrals last year to the student Assistance Team, and
that all drug and alcohol incidents are automatically referred to the
School Assistance Team.
It was therefore error for the West Shore
School District to fail to refer Beverly to the Student Assistance Team.
Next, the Adjudication of the Board of School Directors sent to
Plaintiff on October 24, 1994 and received by her states in its findings
of fact on page 3 that Beverly is "currently on probation for the
possession and distribution of marijuana."
The transcript from the
hearing also indicates numerous questions were asked about this prior
incident. (N.T. at pp,9, 12, 15, 16, 17) plaintiff had absolutely no
notice that this old charge would be brought up at the hearing or used
in considering her punishment. The prior incident did not involve any
activity on school property at cumberland Valley and she had no reason
to believe it would be rehashed in this forum.
In Yatron v. Hamburq Area School District, 85 Berks L.J. 6, 1992,
the Court found that the School Board's disciplinary procedure was
flawed in that it considered an alleged prior act of vandalism in
determining the student's punishment, an act with which the student was
never charged and of which he had no prior notice. On appeal, the case
was remanded to the trial court with instructions to remand to the Board
for a new penalty hearing without evidence of other alleged acts of
vandalism for which no prior notice had been given or an opportunity to
defend. Yatron v, Hamburq Area School District, 631 A2d 758 (pa.Cmwlth.
1993) .
The use of this prior incident was a serious violation of
plaintiff's due process rights and unfairly prejudiced the Board in its
"I
,
determination of her punishment. Mrs. Hake testified that the September
incident was the first time there had been a problem in a long while.
N.T. at p.16. She also stated that the incident is was most
appropriately characterized as a message from daughter to mother about
her unhappiness at being uprooted from her friends at Cumberland Valley
and placed in a new school. N.T. at p.2L Also, she testified that her
daughter's group therapy counselor did not consider it necessary to
place Beverly in drug counseling. Yet at the hearing, a school board
member stated "It sounds like you are in the drug culture in Cumberland
Valley and now you're in this district and you've again chosen the mode
of drugs." N.T. at p.15. Had Beverly been given adequate notice to
allow her time to present witnesses on her behalf, it would have been
shown th~t this September violation was an isolated incident and not a
pattern of on-going behavior, as it was characterized at the hearing.
Finally, Plaintiff was unfairly punished in that the severity of
the punishment far outweighed the severity of the crime, and that other
students with similar incidents were treated far more leniently. To
begin with, the amount of marijuana involved was minimal; Beverly shared
one marijuana cigarette with two other students. The offense occurred
before school and outside school property. At the hearing, the
assistant principal testified that Beverly had a good attendance record
at Cumberland Valley High School and was on track for graduation with
the exception of one math score. N.T. at p.10. Mr. Gross also stated
that "since receiving the progress reports at Cedar Cliff, Beverly has
somewhat pulled her act together, based upon the teacher comments and
documentation." Id. The acadp.mic progress report dated 10/5/94
10
certainly demonstrates her improved attitude and satisfactory grades.
(Plaintiff Exhibit P6). In Popp v. Western Beaver Countv School
District, 9 D.&C. 3d 514 (1979), the Court stated in dicta that a
student possessing less than one ounce of marijuana, who regularly
attends school and is not otherwise a discipline problem is not a threat
to the health, safety, morals or welfare of others within the meaning of
regulations promulgated by the state Board of Education concerning
disciplinary exclusion of the student from school. Plaintiff fits this
description, and neither should she be considered a threat to others.
Plaintiff I s punishment was much harsher than other similarly
situated students. For example, the two students in the car with her
during this incident received different punishments. One was givfln only
three months out of school suspension, with the school providing a tutor
for him. This is spite of the fact that the student had previously been
suspended for ten days while in middle school and was failing all his
classes and showing no signs of improving his work. The other student
involved was expelled for the remainder of the school year and sent to
rehabilitation, having quite a lengthy discipline record already on
file. Plaintiff knows personally of one other student who was not
expelled until the third drug-related offense. Plaintiff discovered
that over one hundred students were referred to the student Assistance
Team last year. It is unclear why Beverly Hake, with no prior
discipline problems in school, and with a first offense at Cedar Cliff,
would be dealt the harshest of punishments. It may be, as Mr. Gross had
earlier suggested, that the Board was trying to set an example.

OK. Before they can ask hlrn a quesllon, let me get him up there, I would call Mr.
Robert Gross to the stand, OK. Mr, Gross, you have Identlffed yoursalf as the Pupil
Services Administrator. On the date of September 8, for which this offense Is being
charged this evening, what was your position at thai time In the school district?
Mr, Gross:
.
Asslstanl Principal, Cedar Cliff High School.
Mr. Murphy:
.
Was a part of your responsibility, In that position, to oversee the discipline, attendance,
and academic record of Beverly Hake?
Mr. Gross:
.
II was,
Mr. Murphy:
And have you prepared a summary of her discipline, academic, find behavior record?
Mr. Gross:
I have.
Mr. Murphy:
OK. And I would ask thai that would be distributed at this time,
Mr, Gross:
Whal you have before you Is a brief biographical sketch of Beverly Hake, She entered
Cedar Cliff High School approxlmalely two (2) days before school opened this year.
She registered 10 attend West Shore School District. Her first day of class, of course,
was August 31 and the report that I have Included for your perusal will Indicate the
Information I had at the time the report was made, plus we have a few documents and
artifacts that have since, subsequently, come from Cumberland Valley. ff you'lI turn to
page 2 of the document, you'll see thai based upon her report cards from Cumberland
Valley High School, Beverly spent a good deal of time attending school, Her absentee
B
.
record was not severe, although, you will see thai In ninth grade, '92-93, Ihere were a
rew unexcused absences, with no days suspended, Tenth grade, we have a lolal days,
16 days absences, and we had a total days, the short lime she was at Cedar CIIII, she
had a hall day absent with ten days or suspension based upon the result of what she Is
here for tonight, Ihe alleged Incident.
Mr, Murphy:
Before you leave page 2, Hall way down the page In Ihe three (3) senlences under
.
"Other Inrormallon," on pollee Involvement. I rerer you to that secllon. The lasl
sentence says "Bevsrly Is currenlly on Juvenile proballon for prior drug use. Old Beverly
share with you whatlhat was aboul?
Mr. Gross:
During the course 01 our Inlllal quesllonlng, Beverly had Indloated to rne, with mother
present, that she was on parole with Cumberland County Juvenile Probation System.
The result of Ihat was for selling drugs 011 of school property while attending
Cumberland Valley High School,
Page three (3) of the document Is her admlltal slaternenllo the olfense. Clearly, she
Indicates Ihat she was driving a rnotor vehicle, smoked a marijuana cigarette, and
passed It on to others In the car. She also Indicates In her last two (2) sentences that
another Individual brought the Bud, mariJuana, with him Inlo the car and rolled the
cigarette or Joint. Page 4 Indicates Ihe leiter, which Initiated the acllon of this evening
and the suspensions, prior to this evening, The following lew pages are fresh. In olher
words, they Just arrived at Cedar Cliff, so to speak, so we made haste and tried to get
them In the packet for you, The page alter our lelter there Indlcales her report card and
the standardized test scores, At the bottom you'll see her VISA record, her ninth grade
year to Ihe rar lelt corner. her 1 Glh grade year In the middle, And you'll see that In her
ninth grade year In Cumberland Valley, she did, In lact. pass all her subjects, Her tenth
9
grade year, or last school year at Cumberlal'.d Valley, she had some dllllculty In the
area of rnathematlcs, But, she Is on Irack for graduation with the exception of one (1)
math score during her tenth grade year at Cumberland Valley, The following page Is a
detail highlight of her tenth grade report card at Cumberland Valley High School, Again,
you'll notice the fourth subJect down, Basic Algebra I, was failed for the school year,
Following that, you'll see the current Interim progress reports Issued from Ihls marking
period at Cedar Cllfl High School, You'll see that, as you peruse them, that ponderance
.
01 what Beverly Is suffering lrom Is the mere lacl that she has not been In school long
enough to do any work, You'll also see evidence 01 the fact that when she Is Ihere
she's doing a very marginal Job 01 making up her work lrorn work missed due to the
suspensions, or did not make up the work while being on suspension. Interestingly
enough though, the last page 01 your packet, which Is the next one I'd like to hlghllghl,
will rellect a bit of a dlflerent attitude, It would appear, based upon Ihls documentation,
that since receiving the progress reports at Cedar Cliff, Beverly has sornewhat pulled
her act together, based upon the teacher comments and documentation, You'll see that
In Foods she has, In lact, rnade up her work and has a passing grade, bul when you
look back to the progress report, you'll see thai wasn'l the case, Her allltude and
cooperation Is good, In Civics, no problem passing the course. English III, problerns
stili remain, no effort to complete the work, live (5) quizzes and a lesl stili out. Speech,
where once the Interim report said there was no effort to rnake up the speeches, you'll
see now thai she has completed Ihe assignments. This would appear 10 have occurred
over the past week or so, Photography, excellenl Job, caughl up with all work, greal
allllude. Art II, allllude and behavior are fine, some decenl lesl scores. Aslronomy,
everything's OK there, passing grade, Business Math, allllude line, Cartoon Animation,
great attitude, all work cornplete, The bollom comment Is Irom Mrs. Steger, Ihe
Counselor, So, II's easy to see that she hasn't had a chance to come 10 know Beverly
10
very Inllmately, due to the fact she hasn't been In school very long. But, It would cppear
that once you would analyze what's In the packet, Ihat since the progress reports went
oul and for whatever other reason, Beverly has decided to, sornewhat, pull her act
togelher, That's whall would offer at Ihls point.
Mr, Murphy:
Does the sludent handbook al Cedar Cliff High School contain Inforrnatlon as to the
serlousneJls of drug and alcohol use and subsequent consequences? Does It contain
specific Informallon, In thaI regard?
Mr, Gross:
Absolutely.
Mr. Murphy:
Has that handbook been given 10 all sludenls at the beginning of the year?
Mr, Gross:
The first day of school.
Mr. Murphy:
It Is your understanding then, as an Asslslant Principal, that all students are fully
apprised of the seriousness of such an Issue and Ihe consequences?
Mr. Gross:
Wllhout a doubt.
Mr. Murphy:
OK. Thank you. ThaI's alii have for Mr. Gross,
Mr. Messick:
Mr. Gross, do you have a recommendallon for Ihe Cornmlttee?
Mr, Gross:
Expulsion,
Mr, Murphy:
11
I would Indicate expulsion as deemed appropriate, having reviewed her rll1;nrd. She Is
a new student to this school, but taking Into accounl all the Inlorrnation you have and
the seriousness 01 the charges, we certainly leel that an expulsion Is deerned
appropriate, should be laken Into conslderallon,
Mr, Messick:
Beverly and Ms. Hake, do you have any questions for Mr, Gross,..
Mrs. Sanford:
.
I'd like to know a IIIlIe more about the drug possession In Cumberland County. This
was off school property?
Mr, Gross:
That's what the defendant told me, that Is correct.
Mrs, Sanford
School wasn't Involved, but Ihe vlolalfon was still drug possession and selling?
Mr, Messick:
Beverly and Ms, Hake, do have any questions to ask of Ihls witness?
(Can't hear)
Mr, Messick:
Do you have anyone else to ...
Mr. Murphy:
That's It, I have nothing else atthl:3 lime,
Mr, Messick:
Beverly and Ms, Hake you may now present any witnesses or evidence on the
appropriate punlshrnent. As Indicated before, Beverly Is not required to tesllfy. No
adverse Inference rnay be drawn If she chooses nolto lesllfy. "Beverly does tesllly,
anything she says can be considered by the Committee In dellberallons,
Ms. Hake:
12
.-
Can Beverly speak?
Mr, Messick:
Yes,
Beverly:
When I first went to Cedar Cliff, II was like a new school and everything, I Just was
scared and that's why I had done what I did, But, now that I'm back In school, II's just, ,
realized how rnuch beller It Is for me there than It Is al Cumberland Valley and I'd really
.
like 10 stay,
Mr, Messick:
Why were you scared?
Beverly:
II was new and all,
Ms, Hake:
I'd like to go ahead and JusI say now, Beverly's had a real hard time In her life and part
of Its been my fault. That's not an excuse end I'm not giving that as an excuse. But I
just want you to understand Ihal she'e been trying to overcome a 101 of Ihlngs, And the
thing that happened with the drug bust In Cumberland Counly was a real setback for all
of us, We've all had to learn 10 adJusI and change our altitudes, our thoughts, the way
we're dealing with things. II has nol been easy. II was my decision 10 take her out of
Cumberland Valley because I felt thalli was not a schoollhat was people oriented. I
wanted her to go someplace where people would be understanding, Not
underslandlng, bul rnore helpful, The malh class thai Beverly was failing In last year, I
talked to the principal several times about selling up tutoring, doing something, I always
got the same reply. The teacher's too busy, I didn't have money to set-up and pay for
tutoring, II was lust a dead,end, I feel like Cedar Cliff can give us this chance, This Is a
real chance here for us, What she did, she's been really, really good, I mean she's
13
been slaying away Irom Ihe drugs, She's corne up wllh a whole new group o"rlends.
We have her In counseling, which just started aboul a month and a hall ago. Nol even
that long, aboul a month ago. We're really trying here and I have nollced ouch
dlflerence In allllude In the past couple 01 weeks, since this has happened and she's
been going back to school. Everybody at Cedar CIIII has been so grealto us, I mean
they give us encouragement, They tell me all the lime how good she Is and how much
they appreclale her, You don'l know how that Is, how that leels, To finally hear
.
somebody acknowledge thai my daughler can do somelhlng positive, She really, really
needs Ihls, More Ihan anylhlng In her IIle, she needs this, I'm sorry II happened. I wish
to God I could take II away, And I know II was a serious offense. I know she does now,
100, II would Jusl.... I Just think this Is like one 01 my last chance, one ollhe laslthlngs
that I can give her, was this, What she did was stupid, but she's a teenager and they do
slupld things. I really wish you'd give her one more chance and let her try, I think her
atlllude In the past two (2) week has shown lhat she really wants to try. And' talked to
them loday aboulthe English, She's been alrald to talk to the teacher and we golthat
slralghtened out, The Guidance Counselor talked 10 us. She Is rnore than willing 10 go
up and talk to him now, I don't know why she was alrald of him, but please give us one
more chance,
Mrs, Sanlord:
Are you going to drug counseling now?
Mrs, Hake:
Me? Oh, her. II's a group therapy, The counselor at this rnoment sold she didn't want
to put her Into drug counseling because she's been clean for a long lime, This was the
flrstlncldenl since the Cumberland Valley thing and they didn't, they dldn'l want to put
her Into drug counseling, yet, She's going to be receiving tests every week or so on,
drug tesls, and II they find out anything dlllerent, then they are going 10 put her Inlo a
14
drug rehabllltallon program,
Mrs, Sanlord:
I really question your choice In behavior. Your choice ollrlends, again. II sounds like
you are In the drug culture In Cumberland Valley and now you're In this dlslrlct and
you've again chosen the mode 01 drugs. And your choice to drive under the Inlluence,
mean these are a 101 01 poor choices, What do you have to say about Ihat?
Beverly Hake:
.
I didn't have drugs on Cumberland Valley's property when I was caught the first tlrne.
Mrs, Sanlord:
This Is the second lime. This Is not the first lime. What did you learn Irom your
Curnberland Valley experience?
Beverly Hake:
(Unintelligible)
Mr, Messick:
Excuse me, Beverly, would you speak up so Ihe Board could hear you please?
Beverly Hake:
The drugs wasn'l worth all the problems and everything, I think the only reason I did II
again was Just, It was put In front 01 rny lace and I was '"
Mrs, Sanlord:
But, you had a choice, You had a choice,
Beverly Hake:
Yea,
Mrs, Sharp:
Beverly, I don't know how long you've lived In the district, You apparently translerred to
Cedar CIIII a couple 01 days belore school started on Augusl 3 I. How did you gravitate
to an Indlvlduallhal was going 10 be bringing drugs 10 your car? How did you happen
15
to, I see your comment Is "I picked up Mike."
Beverly Hake:
He Just asked for a ride to school.
Mrs, Sharp:
I didn't see the probation and I didn't read the Incident report, I was reading your
handwriting here and your comments on the Incident and Just the language you were
using, , could, I mean you were well Involved In the drug cullure, I couldn't even, I rnean
.
Ihese words were non-Iamlllar to me and then when I read that you were on probation,
then I could see why you speak In terms that I didn't even, I'm not aware 01. This
Individual that bought the drugs, did he ask you 10 srnoke the Joint or did you Just
Indicate to him that you wanted to smoke II In the car?
Beverly Hake:
, He lit the Joint and I took a couple 01 hils,
Mrs. Sharp:
So you Just took II, I have a problem with you coming to Cedar Cllllln Ihe first week 01
school and being Involved In drugs. Aller your mother Is telling us this evening that
you've been, apparently not Involved wllh drugs lor, I'm not sure what period 01 time,
don't know when this Incident happened at Cumberland Valley,
Ms, Hake:
It was back In April,
Mrs. Sharp:
April of '94?
Ms, Hake:
Yes,
Mrs, Sharp:
OK, so you're saying lrom April 01 '94, the Ilrst known Incident to you Is this September?
16
Is that correclthen?
(Cannot hear)
Mrs, Sharp:
Had you thought about, Beverly's obviously had some problerns here, why would she
be driving to school? May I ask that? She's a Junior, Is there bus transportation from
where you live?
Ms, Hake:
.
To be honest with you, I don't know,
Mrs, Sharp:
To rne the situation that she's been Involved with In the past, warrants Borne kind of
rnonltorlng of her behavior, Rewarding her with a vehicle to drive back and forth to
school seems a illite above what a parent might be asked to do for somebody In this
case. Why the vehicle? Why the Iransportatlon?
Ms, Hake:
I did not purchase the vehicle for her. She has had to earn Ihat on her own, through
working and ...
Mrs, Sharp:
She pays the car Insurance, puts the gas money In It?
Ms, Hake:
Yes,
Mrs. Sharp:
She gets all this money from working where?
Ms. Hake:
She works over at Wendy's,
Mrs, Sharp:
Considerable hours a week?
17
Ms, Hake:
Yea, She was working ..'
Beverly Hake:
Full time,
Mrs, Sharp:
She works full time?
Ms. Hake:
.
Yea, she works full time during the summer,
Mrs. Sharp:
During the summer? She Just purchasE'd the vehicle for Ihls year?
Ms, Hake:
Boughlll back In.., II's been a couple of months she's had II, I guess right after she
started working. Nollong after,
Mrs. Sharp:
Was your vehicle searched Ihal day?
Beverly Hake:
Yes.
Mrs, Sharp:
Was marijuana found In the vehicle?
Beverly Hake:
Yes,
Mrs, Sharp:
There was? Was It yours?
Beverly Hake:
No, II was Mike Chubb's, as far as I know,
Mrs, Sharp:
"
18
- ....',...,-'
Mike Chubb, as far as you know?
Beverly Hake:
Yes, II wasn't mine, II could have been In there from a long time ago,
Mrs, Sharp:
What does that rnean? Were other people In your vehicle and lell drugs there? Was It
Bev Hake's drugs?
Beverly H~ke:
No, I saw Mike put something In there,
Mrs, Sharp:
...no one else In the vehicle that would have had drugs, except Mike Chubb? Was there
drugs In that vehicle before those two (2) boys got In there?
Beverly Hake:
NO, Not as far as I know
Mrs, Sharp:
So, you're not going te, tell us tonight that that definitely was Mike Chubb's ....
Beverly Hake:
Yea, cause I didn't know.
Mrs, Sharp:
So, you don't know? OK, So It gal In there somehow, II could have been Mike
Chubb's, It could have been somebody else's that was In the car?
Beverly Hake:
As far as I know, It could have been,
Mrs, Sharp:
To me, that's a perfect vehicle for these types of things 10 .." I mean, I say vehicle In
terms of, she's not riding the bus to school. You're allowing her to ride In a car where
she can deviate her route to school. I don't under..." I'm not qulle following the
19
reasons,
Mr, Messick:
Is there a school bus In your area?
Ms, Hake:
I don't know II there Is or not, to be honest with you,
Beverly Hake:
Well, Irom everyone that lives around me, they say there Is no bus and they walk to
.
school.
Mr. Murphy:
She lives on Hummel Avenue, I believe that's walking... That's considered walking
distance,
Ms. Hake:
I'rn pretty strict with her about going to and Irom school, She usually calls me when she
gets home Irom school and lhal's II she tells rne like she's going someplace right alter
school. And to my known knowledge this Is the IIrst lime she was late for school that ..
Mrs, Sharp:
At Cedar Cliff?
Ms, Hake:
RIght.
Mrs, Sharp;
Thai's only a week Into school.
Ms, Hake:
Um.Uh,
Mrs. Sharp:
I'rn not sure and I can't, , wish' could be sure whether you're pulling a fast one on us by
Irnprovlng this atlllude lor the last two (2) weeks, because you knew you were corning
20
here,
Beverly Hake:
'didn't know,
Mrs, Sharp:
Didn't know anything about a hearing?
Ms, Hake:
She didn't know. I didn't tell her aboutlhe hearing unliltoday,
.
Mrs, St\arp:
What was the reason for that?
Ms, Hake:
Truthfully, I wasn't even going to bring her. And Mr. Goc and Mr, Gross both called me
and talked to me and advised me very heavily to bring her along, And yesterday 'Iold
her that we would be having the hearing and that she needed to come,
Mrs. Sharp:
Don't you want her to be accountable for her actions? What was the reason for not
feeling that she should be here?
Ms, Hake:
In all honesty, I wish I could tell you, 'guess I was trying to protect her. I don't know. I
really don't know. Things have been so messed up for so long and we're trying 10 all
pull It logelher, really. This thing with this, It was dlrecled towards me, personally. It
really was not school. It was nothing else, It was an action I feel, directed towards me
for pulling her away from her friends and her school and giving her a new environment,
She has since then, she doesn't deal with Mike, I haven't seen her hanging around with
any of those people, She's made a real effort to make new friends here, which she
wasn't doing the first couple of days here In school. And I've seen a, like I said I've
seen a real Improvement. And I dldn'l want to tell her anything about this hearing.
21
really didn't, 'didn't know II It would make her nervous or edgy, She's not trying to pull
a last one on you, She dldn'\ know about It, And you can ask Mr. Gross, I think I talked
to him, I told him I hadn't even gone over to pick up the certified yet, I knew what II was
aboul, I lust couldn't get oil work,
Mr, Messick:
Where do you work?
Ms, Hake:
Pardon me.
Mr, Messick:
Where do you work?
Ms, Hake:
I work at West Coast Video, I'm a general rnanager. I'm only Iwo (2) mites away Irom
the post office, but my boss Is very hard about leaving work. Mosl nights I don't get oil
work until 5:00 or 6:00, I've been working Saturdays unIll12:00, 1:00,2:00.
Mrs, Sharp:
Do you get a lunch hour? Hall hour?
Ms, Hake:
, don't even take lunch.
Mrs. Sharp:
, think II somebody called you and said your daughler broke her leg at school, would
your boss let you come and get her?
Ms, Hake:
80th 01 my kids were sick last week, I had to take them to the doctors and I got chewed
out lor It,
Mrs, Sharp:
This Is a serious sltuallon here. It's your daughter's education. You're pleading with
22
this Board lonlghllo let her remain In the Dlslrlcl. I think It's In your besllnleresllo have
read all documents before this and ...
Ms. Hoke:
And' do feel thai part of the problem Is my job and It Is something I'm going 10 Iry and
take care of. Because this has been a continuing problem, I mean, It has been a real
problem,
Mrs, Sharp:
.
Beverly, I'm going to give you one mora chance, I'm going to ask you directly, Did Ihal
marijuana belong to Mike Chubb? Because Ilhlnk you know and I wanl you to slate
tonlghl whelher you know thai belonged 10 Mike Chubb.
Beverly Hake:

Ms. Hake:
Beverly told me when we were sllllng In the office. She sold, mom, she sold, I think I

I think he might have put sorne kind of papers or something In there,
23
Mrs, Sharp:

Beverly Hake:

It Is the decision 01 this Committee as follows:
The Board Cornrnlttee must protect the health, salety and wellare of the other students
enrolled In Ihe West Shore School District. The Board Committee Is comrnllled to
.
enforcing discipline for Inlracllons of Its drug policy In order to offer olher studenls the
right to attend a drug-free school. In order to accornpllsh these results, Beverly must
suffer Ihe consequences lor violating school rules prohibiting the possession of
controlled substances or drugs during school hours on school property, Therefore, the
Board Committee recommends that Beverly be expelled Irom attendance at Cedar Cliff
High School lor the rernalnder of the 1994-1995 school year, effective October 6, 1994,
Immediately after the adjudication by the Board Comrnlttee,
This adjudication requires that Beverly not be physically present on the premises of the
Wesl Shore School District during or after school hours or at any school-sponsored
events,
The Board Cornmlttee also recognizes the possibility of rehabilitation and the
devastating consequences of nol completing the program In the West Shore School
District. The Board Committee wishes to encourage students to seek rehabilitation and
to change negative behavior, To that end, the Board Committee encourages Beverly to
reapply for readrnlsslon In the month of July 1995 for the 1995-1996 school year.
Readmission shall be permitted strictly on a probationary status so that any violation of
the Public School Code or violation 01 a School Policy would result In automatic
expulsion without any lurther due process recourse by the studenl or parent. This
period of probation would extend through the 1995.1996 school year. Prior to
28
readmission both the student and parents would have to agree In writing to the
probationary nature of the readmission,
To ensure that Beverly Is no longer using drugs, the Board has established the following
conditions for readrnlsslon.
The parent and student will permit any drug and alcohol counselor or psychologist to
talk freely to school administrators regarding Beverly's rehabilitation or lack thereof: and
the complatlon of an approved drug assessment program and follow-up counseling.
.
Beverly rnust cornplete a minimum of fifteen (15) hours ....,
Ms. Hake:
I IhoughlIhls was a school with a heart, I really thought she tried, (Dlspruptlng noIse,
like chairs failing or sornethlng). I really thought the West Shore School DIstrict was a
whole new school that rnaybe we would have a chance, Well, I know Beverly messed
up, I know she did bad...
Beverly Hake:
Bunch of foolsl
Ms. Hake:
...but you know she did not deserve Ihls. She had a chance here and you guys Just
screwed her royally. And you will hear from my allomey,
(Disturbance Indicated by background noises,)
Mr. Messick:
Beverly must satlsfaclorlly complete an educational prograrn while expelled. As part of
the readmission process Beverly will be required to subrnlt In writing her reasons for
desiring to get back Into school and those objectives she wishes to allaln In school. The
Administration 15 asked to assist Beverly In complying with Ihe portion of the
