Scott, it wasn't a mandatory 1 year sentence, it was a mandatory 1 year license suspension. Any alcohol issue with minors caries a set license suspension in California because they assume that if you were safely drinking it at a frat party where you were going to walk upstairs and crash, then you are going to drive drunk next.
needless to say I'm uncomfortable with laws that make a point of assuming that one crime lads to another.
You drank, didn't mean you were about to drive.
You had weed on your person within x yards of a school, didn't mean you were about to distribute it to the school kids (I live across the street from a school).
You had more than x grams of weed, didn't mean you were dealing it.
All of these are real laws that feel like being found guilty of a greater crime without any proof of it, or trial for the greater crime.
That said damn good advice to get a lawyer and get a hallway solution. Talk to your school Radius, don't wait for class, you need to get this fixed well before that date.
