This will be used for the future. The student now has an expulsion on his record and the district can use this if the student creates future problems.
.
In addition, it could simply be a message sender, by calling it an expulsion instead of a suspension it sends a stronger message.
.
For most students, an expulsion, for 1 year, semester, day or minute is going to mean more than a suspension.

Without knowing the details it is difficult to comment beyond that.

Well, perhaps the student now had to repeat his/her school year over again since being expelled during the school year? That'll learn 'em!
