. The decision of the county board shall be limited as
follows:
(a) If the county board finds that relevant and material evidence
exists which, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, could not have
been produced or which was improperly excluded at the hearing before
the governing board, it may do either of the following:
(1) Remand the matter to the governing board for reconsideration
and may in addition order the pupil reinstated pending the
reconsideration.
(2) Grant a hearing de novo upon reasonable notice thereof to the
pupil and to the governing board. The hearing shall be conducted in
conformance with the rules and regulations adopted by the county
board under Section 48919.
(b) If the county board determines that the decision of the
governing board is not supported by the findings required to be made
by Section 48915, but evidence supporting the required findings
exists in the record of the proceedings, the county board shall
remand the matter to the governing board for adoption of the required
findings. This remand for the adoption and inclusion of the required
findings shall not result in an additional hearing pursuant to
Section 48918, except that final action to expel the pupil based on
the revised findings of fact shall meet all requirements of
subdivisions (j) and (k) of Section 48918.
(c) In all other cases, the county board shall enter an order
either affirming or reversing the decision of the governing board. In
any case in which the county board enters a decision reversing the
local board, the county board may direct the local board to expunge
the record of the pupil and the records of the district of any
references to the expulsion action and the expulsion shall be deemed
not to have occurred.
