Shido's father is apparently a pretty powerful man if he's able to pull of what he did, without some sort of investigation going on involving Rei being held back.

Saya's dad isn't a moron, he knew Shido was tainted and Rei just reaffirmed that for him.

For why the student was thrown off the bus, read chapter 12, it's not that far from the beginning. It doesn't matter if it's a zombie apocalypse, unlike the rest of those tools on the bus (lesbians, school slut and school bully), it's normal to want to know if your family is okay, which has also been the goal for the main cast.
We still don't know the full details of why he changed Rei's grades. He could have been coerced into it, as in... forced.

In the flashback we learn that he hates his father. He sought an honorable profession as a teacher. He seems like he wanted to be a good person.

There is probably a twist to the story...

1) His father gave him the option of setting her back a grade or having her killed.
2) His father told him it was him or her. His entire career and life's work or one year for Rei.

At one time Rei and Shido could have been close. Was probably a mentor, brother figure. This may be why she is so furious. The betrayal....
