This may have been the unfortunate reality 20 years ago. But security cameras are cheap and ubiquitous. If it's on school property (including school busses), then this should be simple. Separate the kids, review the footage, and punish the kid who started it. The one who didn't start it gets an apology and assurances that they're safe and it won't happen again. The whole "punish them both equally" is insane and sociopathic.
The worst kind of bullies will just learn what the cameras are going to capture and not
do you think the schools have the resources to "launch an investigation" every time there's a fight? you may end up with one side of the story anyways, that's ridiculous. don't ask from a school stuff with what the justice system struggles.
