How does expulsion play out with the school's finances?

It’s very, very expensive. The state constitution guarantees a right to an education. While it’s possible to deny someone that right based on poor behavior (like many other rights), it’s a big deal.
If you mean does an expelled student mean reduced funding … I don’t know. Maybe nobody knows. It hasn’t happened in decades.
When a student is suspended there’s usually some provision made for their education: individual learning.
The district is still doing something for them.
With expulsion, it’s as though the student is a non resident for purposes of registration. I don’t know if that applies to funding.
Apparently its because of a state law that defines “expulsion” and “suspension” in specific ways.
“Expulsion” means the district has completely absolved itself of any educational responsibility to the student.
“Suspension” means a students access to school facilities had been restricts or removed.
In practice, formal expulsions are archaic. No one has been formally expelled for decades: including the student who raped multiple classmates in the stairwell.
It’s a language thing, not a real thing.
