I also believe criminal charges would be hard to press against the school, and that it may not be appropriate. I acknowledged in my previous post that schools are in a difficult position. But they have responsibilities.
If, in the process, through negative publicity or whatever, the school is forced to re-examine its policies on fan behavior, sportsmanship, and respect at sporting events, then that is what needs to happen.
The school didn't assault the ref, but they need to examine the possible root causes of this kind of behavior.
