So beechwood is suspending kids who were on private property committing an act in which they are not being legal charged with anything? How does that work. I hope Beechwood's lawyers are ready, this will get ugly.

Beechwood high school is an independent school. An independent school is a school that is independent in its finances and governance. If Beechwood feels that their students actions are not representing the schoool in a positive way, they can punish them.

straight from the beechwood handbook


No student shall, both before, during or after any school event, on or off school premises, violate the rules and regulations of the Beechwood Board of Education. Violation of this regulation constitutes cause for suspension or expulsion of the student from school
