If ANYTHING, I would consider yourself lucky that's the ONLY thing that happened to you.
Seriously, listen to Brent and Q on this one. The school board actually DOES have the right to interfere, and here's why. Firstly, anything done outside of your "school life" is "on your parents". From the school's point of view, they "have to" believe that your parents are ok with you posting pictures like that online and since they are "forced" into thinking that way, they HAVE to report it. In many states, this is an assumed responsibility or an obligation for the school to do. I know that in Michigan, it's law that if a case of abuse is present, apparent, or assumed, and the school doesn't report it, it's against the law if someone can prove that the school knew of it and didn't report it.
The school board is taking the right approach, so don't be mad there. Also, like Brent says, if all that is happening is you're being "banned" from the computer (Runescape) for a while, that's a GOOD example of a punishment. Maybe it's because me, Brent, and Q are older (Q is like 83) so we believe in more stern punishment , but it actually "is wrong for you to post pictures like that"
EVEN IF you're ok with them and consent to it - and it pretty much has everything to do with your age.
You pretty much have to be Miley Cyrus or Vanessa Hudgens to get away with posting dirty pictures online these days.
