It really depends on the contract they signed. Actually, it was called a 'statement of cooperation', so maybe it wasn't any kind of binding contract.

The level of control here seems a tad high. I understand that many people believe public schools to be anarchic pools of violence and debauchery, but I think that resorting to rigid authoritarianism is a high price to pay.

Maybe they could just let him off if he agrees to wear a scarlet 'D' to school every day.
