"zero tolerance for bullying" policies, while super well-intentioned, are sometimes implemented in ways that tie the school's hands. Depends on state, district, and school. It's like "zero tolerance for weapons" policies, which sound like a great idea but when implemented badly mean a kid with a leatherman in their backpack and no record gets expelled.

In a good school system obviously there's more nuance to something like that. But it's possible that the kid got witnessed by adults for the first time and the district policy is that inflexible.
