If she can't produce a witness it would get thrown out as hearsay at best and at worst would come down to his word versus hers.

They can expell him but it would open a can of worms that no superintendant or school board would want to deal with, with the greatest likelyhood that he gets reinstated anyways.

The key to anything like this is involved parents. If your (collective) parents kvetch your 2 days may not even hold up, if your parents support the decision, you're all probably sunk. Moreso in his case, virtually no expulsions hold up when legally contested unless a weapon was involved or someone was severely injured. The teacher and principal need thicker skin IMO. Usually the mention of lawyers draws offers of compromise.
