most schools nowadays have moved to a system where punishment is handled either by an "honor committee" or the administration. I don't know what was the case here, but it seems to me that she took the issue to the authorities within the school and they did nothing.

I don't know about that particular school. But where I teach (granted, its a university) the policy is that if I see a student committing an infraction, I am supposed to take it to the honor council and not do anything myself. If I see a student cheating off another student, for example, I am not supposed to call out the student publicly, take away his test or do anything that would affect his test taking. I am supposed to make a note of it and bring the two tests to the honor council.
