Expulsion and counseling are merely part of this process. Some would focus on monetary recompense, most of which would go to lawyers.

Me, I would vote for incarceration in a juvenile detention facility with hard labor until they are eighteen years of age. They will have a permanent record of this as well that will not be expunged upon reaching eighteen years of age.

The "blot" on their record should stay permanently. After all, Phoebe cannot be resurrected; in that case, their crime cannot be ignored.
