I think you missed the part about it being a co-op school.  All the parents are involved and work together.  If everyone collectively decided that someone was not a good fit then they would be kicked out.  This is very unlikely.  Parents and teacher (s) would work together to resolve all issues.  It's not like someone is going to be sitting in an office kicking students out of the school.  Also, everyone would have to agree to the model and programs of the school beforehand and everyone would have to support it.

Look, I just hate to tell you this, but that's completely illegal and if you do that, you are going to get sued.  You cannot allow a parent to see someone else's kid's educational, behavioral, or developmental records, either directly or indirectly.  That's not just Buckley Amendment - it's state privacy law.  And VA (surprisingly?) has a fairly aggressivestate civil rights law -- you simply will have to accommodate reasonably foreseeable disabilities, including non-dangerous behavior issues.  You can't just generally give parents a vote -- this would not qualify as a private membership club.
