No, the parent is. Worst case, they can be home schooled.
Despite being treated as such, schools are not day cares, and parents still have some responsibility for the upbringing of their children. If the kid misbehaves enough, it is on the parent.

We might want it to work that way, but depending on which state it is, and the she of the child, the district's legal responsibilities might be what the GP wrote.
In places with mandatory public education, parents suing the district for not providing education for their expelled child are likely to win.
Is that really possible in the US? IIRC, the government has a mandate to educate every child, including those that are extremely developmentally disabled (which is why special education is such a huge item in school budgets). If a kid is expelled from school, wouldn't the district be legally required to find some alternative arrangement?
