Sorry for the delay; I had a long day in court.
The answer to your question depends where she was sitting; where the marijuana was found; lots of things.
Let me know some more, then I can give you a better idea of her exposure.
Re: marajuana possesion
School rules and criminal law don't always go hand in hand. The school could suspend her even if she is eventually acquitted of any criminal wrongdoing. Obviously it is most important for her to properly defend the criminal matter. Feel free to contact my office for a free consultation.

This is called either joint venture or constructive possession.
