I teach at a high school, and I am familiar with expulsion hearings. Weapons violations are pretty certain to result in expulsion from the school district for one year.
That, after all is said and done, might well be the best solution you could hope for under the circumstances. To the boy it'll be a deep punishment fraught with worries, guilt, loss of friends, new expectations of him that may set him on edge for a while. All for the good, I say.
The closest district, probably contiguous with yours, must accept him. The new school cannot be terribly far away. Remember, he's at the age that many students have to make their own way to school everyday. Good, make HIM get there. Don't let his misbehavior punish you. HE MUST LIVE WITH HIS DEED'S CONSEQUENCES.
It will work. Do it.
