My guess is that for the most part this will be the end of things. Students tend to become quite contrite when they realize the adults in the room are on to them and watching, particularly when their own parents and law enforcement have been called in.
The kids involved may continue to give dirty looks and perhaps say things to other students if they think they can get sympathy for themselves, but the actual pranks and direct harassment will probably ease up because they know direct actions/attacks will be dealt with. If your daughter can do her best to just ignore the looks, etc., they'll lose interest and move on. Any direct problems, however, need to continue to be reported (just in case they are slow learners).

Thank you so much Artley! I appreciate all your advice! The administrators told us their door is always open and to contact them immediately if there is any further bullying behavior or any further incidents of harassment. They are keeping notes on this and want to know of any further incidents immediately. So I think we've got this under control. I've told my daughter to just ignore the dirty looks and don't talk about this with any other students. I also told her to keep her eyes and ears open and tell me anything she hears or sees. I reiterated to her that none of this is her fault.
