I've home educated mine for the last 12 years (graduated 2 boys and the daughter is almost finished). Best thing I've ever done. It's not for everyone though, I understand that. ;)

I can understand a zero tolerance for sharp knives and guns.
I can understand a zero tolerance for illegal drugs and alcohol.
The permenant marker thing, I think the kid should have had to clean all the desks and/or other items with grafiti to show someone has to clean it off and its not very enjoyable. Let them see actions have consequences. I remember someone had to clean gum off the bleachers when they put gum under a desk. They never did it again.
Inhalers as they are needed should be talked about with all involved, teacher, child, parent, and principal. Parents should inform severity of condition to the teacher and principal and the child should be instructed with all there not to bring it out to show other kids but rather only when he/she needs to use it. Maybe even help provide sugestions where to carry it so other children can't get to it as there are risks to others.
Schools need to work with parents and visa versa.

What the heck could he have possibly been doing with a marker to get him arrested? Don't the police have any sense either?
My granddaughter goes to a private school. One little boy has been going to see the school counselor because he hugs everyone but the kids that bully get away with it.
The school enrollment has gone way down because the principal chooses to ignore the bullying. I know a little girl whose nose was broken by another little girl when she pushed her down.
I can't imagine why this child was arrested. Do you know what the parents did about this? Hopefully this won't follow this child for the rest of his life.

I know at our high schools we run the students through metal detectors and check their backpacks and we confiscate all permanent markers or sharp metal objects.
It makes you wonder what the circumstances were with this child that was arrested.

Good Heavens! Even 4th graders? I hadn't thought about the gang related stuff.
I personally think teachers have a hard job. They have to deal with both the kids and parents. Not a job I'd want any time soon.
Thank you for opening my eyes to reality.
