It may be possible in many cases to reduce a class 4 felony to a class a misdemeanor. One method of doing so would be to label the crime an attempt. An "attempt" of a crime is always one class lower than the crime itself. For example an "Attempt Possession of a Controlled Substance" would be a class a misdemeanor while "Possession of a Controlled Substance" would be a class 4 felony.

If you were charged with a felony because your girlfriend said you strangled her but her parents are not pressing charges... can they drop them if the schools police said you had a charge?

I've read the discussion. If the Prosecutor has the case - at this point it might be too late for the parents to make this request. You can try bringing this option up at the pre-trial conference. You may not be able to get the felony charge dropped but perhaps with your offer to take an Anger Management class you MIGHT be offered a plea bargain if you plead to lesser (miisdemeanor) charge (e.g.: Simple Assault). You really should speak with an attorney.
