If the school system has expelled the child from the schools then the
school system no longer has the authority to demand _anything_. If
the school system wants a child who has been expelled to be provided
an education that complies with state standards it is up to the school
system to either readmit that child to the schools or to provide
tutors at home on their dime. They're not allowed to have it both
ways--if they aren't willing to provide the child an education then
they in general don't have the right to demand that anybody else do
what they refuse to do.

After retirement I ended up tutoring a sociopath who had repeatedly
threatened both classmates and staff, resulting in expulsion. Twice during
the semester the police arrived and arrested him while tutoring sessions
were in progress. He did pass the two courses and get a certificate, but
the last few sessions were conducted in the county lockup. One of the
courses was the required civics course.

He's currently in long-term incarceration in Arizona....
