On Nov 21st a teacher found him searching for ammo on his phone and notified the mother. Mother didn't respond to the teacher but told Ethan she wasn't mad but that he had to learn not to get caught.
Parent conference at school day of shooting for strange drawings. See article.

School officials didn't search his backpack EITHER nor mandate he go home.
Parents were in the wrong also IMO
