Yes, most schools take vandalism very seriously. That your child was not suspended is a reasonable warning step to prohibit that conduct again. Some schools are not nearly so generous.

Good luck.

Check with a retained NY lawyer to see if the views are the same there. I am not your attorney. This is an educational website and there is no attorney client relationship established between you and me.
