            | I recommend the Board expel student 05/06-X-092 
              from the regular public school program of The School District of 
              Palm Beach County for one (1) calendar year.  On February 17, 
              2006, student 05/06-X-092 was in possession of a knife while on 
              the campus of Park Vista High School.  I further recommend 
              that the attached Final Order be adopted and entered by the School 
              Board.  |
