  She is already at a new high school. The Orlando Sentinel story linked in the OP says she "is now attending classes at an alternative school." Is that "alternative" as in "another" or "alternative school" as in "remedial school geared toward at-risk youth"?

    I took it as the latter. "Alternative school", in my experience, is a very specific term and not just a synonym for "another, different school".

  No, she's been placed in an "alternative" school. That's not a place for learning, it's a place where the state sticks kids that have to be educated but aren't in prison at that moment, to keep them away from the normal system. The law says you can't just stay home and play video games all day just because you got expelled from your normal school, so they have to stick them somewhere. She might turn out OK, especially because she'll probably transfer to a normal school after this academic year, but this is still a travesty of justice.
