As with all contract questions, the answer to this depends on what is written on the contract.

A minor cannot execute a contract. But, this doesn't sound like a contract. It sounds like she's been told to stay away from someone by school administration, which would most likely be within its rights to issue some form of punishment, if does not comply.
I have a 90 year old large two-story wooden barn-like garage that was in need of painting. I hired the painter through an online service who gave him great reviews.
