Unfortunately I don't know anything about law...I'm on here just asking a question as well, but I am sorry that you are involved in such a mess and I truly hope that it all works out in your favor.
Best of luck to you and your daughter.

Most definately, you should hire an attorney! In addition to being expelled, were there criminal charges filed?
