Best I can quickly find on a resolution to this case is a TV movie based on the story which suggests that a judge dismissed the charges without trial and ordered the family to pay court fees, which were dropped in return for dropping an appeal of that decision.

JUSTICE!

QuoteStudent loses lawsuit citing Wicca religion

TULSA -- A high school student has lost her lawsuit that claimed she was
suspended because of her interest in the Wicca religion.
Brandi Blackbear, a senior- to-be at Union High School, filed her
federal lawsuit in October 2000.

An order Thursday by U.S. District Judge Claire Eagan said neither of
Blackbear's two suspensions in 1999 violated her constitutional rights.

Eagan said Blackbear testified during a deposition that she is not,
never has been and never has wanted to be a Wiccan. The judge also said
Blackbear admitted that the defendants have not kept her from practicing
any religion.

District Superintendent Cathy Burden said the "frivolous lawsuit" cost
the district more than $100,000 in legal fees.

Two of Blackbear's classmates had said they were "fearful" because she
claimed to be a witch and have the power to harm people by casting
spells on them, the order states.

Butler said an appeal is probable and expressed optimism that Blackbear
would prevail.
