Question: What’s the meaning of ‘warranting?’ ( warranting == getting? )

Answer

Hi Maggie,
Warranting is to justify or necessitate.  In this case, what they mean is that the behavior has forced them to discipline the student, even though the student is receiving good grades.
You question is valid and respectfully asked.  It warrants a response. :-)
Have a great day,
Stephen
