any punishment at all is unwarranted. she has more personal integrity in her little right toe than a lot of people in charge of the school she was in. what she deserves is a public apology from them for treating her so poorly, and apparently the community agrees with me. and i am sure all the email's sent in were along the lines of things i mentioned here. if this had gotten no attention and it seemed like no cared cared the board surely would have expelled her. public opinion matters. this could have gone the other way for this young lady. and the fact it happened at all is telling.
