Still seems tenuous as fuck, legally speaking. An adult can be contractually bound to the school's terms, but how do you punish the child when the adult breaches that contract? You can't hold a child contractually responsible for the behaviour of the parents.

I can see a world where the school is entitled to sue the parent for damages, but expulsion of children for no fault of their own is not something that could happen here, and shouldn't happen in a country like USA.

If these were my kids I'd be kicking up a stink. I'd want the head's resignation, and anyone else I can hold legally accountable.
