And if it's off campus, the school does nothing. FWIW, you're not alone. When I raised a similar issue about a year ago, there were others here who said schools have no authority to address behavior off-campus even where there's a demonstrated school impact. None of those people have really thought through what to do in a world where a student posts "Some people at school deserve what they're going to get tomorrow" on Facebook and everyone skips school for the next day, week, or month.

Quite frankly, given the world we live in, skipping school the next day maks perfect sense to me. Of course, so does a visit from the police to the poster's home, a talk with parents, and perhaps execution of a search warrant for weapons.
