No surprize here. I think most of us suspected that the school had this option even though the event happened off campus.
The immediate comment, like the one from the school officials, is generally a quick CYA and then it takes a while to judge the damage and then figure out how much damage control is necessary. My guess is that the superintendent and principal might have underestimated a bit initially how far the hue and cry would carry. And, it's always easiest (at least at first) to claim a lack of jurisdiction -- trying to transfer responsibility away.
In the long run, though, there is clear responsibility on the part of the school and district -- at least in my opinion.
