Can charges be pressed? Underage drinking?

Yesterday and my daughter’s chool 6-10th grade. My daughter and five of her friends were drinking on school gounds. Two of the girls became intoxicated. One of the girls (who was intoxicated) mom now is saying she wants charges pressed on the girl who brought the alcohol to school. Can she have charges pressed on the girl who brought the alcohol? The girls mom is asking if I want to be part in the suite????
I never thought to have charges pressed on the little girl. I’m more worried about my daughter drinking. The other mom of the intoxicated girl “A” wanted charges pressed on “D” since she brought the alcohol to school and supplied it. I’m just worried what is going to happen to my kid and with school.
I did meet with the school yesterday when I picked her up. She attends a Charter school (it’s like a private school) and they never had something like this happen before. So they are going to decide what will be her punishment. This school does not follow the regular public school’s policies. I looked at their own policies but it never mentions anything about drinking. This school is very strict. They just opened up more grades this past year. With the addition of 2 more grades there has been allot more problems at the school with other children. But nothing like this.
