Currently, if a child is excluded or expelled from one school, the Ministry can direct another to take them on.
But principals said that was a problem if there was no good support in place - and they commissioned a legal opinion to back them up.
The Principals Federation released that legal opinion today.
The review, by Quigg Partners, said: A school should never be put in a position by virtue of a direction which results in the school being prevented from carrying out its primary obligations. When a school finds itself in such a position, we consider that the school would have strong grounds to have the direction judicially reviewed.

Teachers must declare that they are developing and practising te reo and tikanga in order to renew their annual practising certificate.
But a Ministry of Education paper to Associate Education Minister Kelvin Davis earlier this year said the Teaching Council was not applying the requirement to all teachers.
The Teaching Council told RNZ of 28,689 applications to date there had been 300 no responses to the question Has the teacher continued to develop and practise te reo me ngā tikanga Māori while practising as a teacher?
