I think zero-tolerance rules in schools are just BS anyways! Its just a way to keep principles and administrators from having to make any logical or rationale decisions. In my opinion if they don't have to make those decisions then what the hell do we need them for? I hope this comes out OK for your family and especially your son in the end. Like Scooter said though, get your head clear and do it right so it dont come back on you.
good luck
