Breaking ED Agreement Advice

…Unfortunately, for the student, guidance reprimanded the family for not withdrawing school 2 and taking a coveted spot from others in her class who did not get in early to school 1. The result, and I was not in the room, was that the student took a year off.

Did the student apply ED to both the top 20 and the state? I thought that ED to a private and a public is “allowed” ? Or did the student apply to the state school with the acceptance to the top 20 already in hand?
