The penalty is at least one year expulsion.
Plus, it's a felony to have an unauthorized gun at school:

There's a law about "unsecured firearm" but it's conditional on the kid being less than 14; that is unlikely in this case.
Since the rumor is that the kid "conspired" with another kid about this (she purportedly was going to give the gun to another kid to use somewhere), the State could probably nail them with all sorts of other laws, most of them felonies.
