I couldn't find their complete policy on their website, but based on the superintendent's statement in the above link, it appears to be rather general and all-encompassing, without spelling out each particular violation specifically.
While my original position on this issue was that the school should have the legal right to do as they wished in this case, but that their actions were wrong in a moral sense altho legitimate in a legal one, after reading the school's mission statement....
Ontario Christian School
... is a community of believers sharing a common faith and commitment to:
A Sovereign God
The Lordship of Jesus Christ
The Power of the Holy Spirit
And the infallible, inerrant Word of God
Furthermore, compelled by our life-time responsibility to be salt and light in this world, we dedicate ourselves to imaging God to our children.
Our Purpose
... is to equip students to view themselves as transformers of society, using their unique personalities and talents to joyfully serve Christ and others in this world.

Demonstrate our Christian faith by a personal walk with the Savior, a reliance on the power of prayer, a commitment to knowing God's Word, a life of service, and church involvement.
Encourage each student to apply the Christian faith to both learning and life and, thus, develop a Christian world-and-life view.
Commit to maintaining professional competence, updating teaching skills and completing continuing education.
Support one another in our united effort to fulfill our mission.
Based on the above, I have to change my view somewhat.
Seems to me that since this school feels so incredibly strongly about their mission, their role, etc., that you can't really argue with them for expelling this student for the reasons which they did.
