is adequate punishment for the crime.

I would hate to see someone's life ruined at such an early age, but in this case the punishment does not fit the crime. While I'm not enthusiastic about returning the offenders back to the classroom I also see why they need to continue their education. If the state is required to provide an education, then the offender should either be sent to another campus or a different school district. The offender may encounter some inconveniences by having to transfer out of their local school, but the inconvenience is minor compared to the intimidation and fear that the victims experience.
