Expelling him seemed like a bit much. Then again, I'm a bit biased because I did some similar things in high school, would have been really bad for me if they expelled me for it (and I was a bit more destructive, I gave everyone the WiFi password that no one was supposed to have...nothing really bad but still worse).
