I suggest trying to set a meeting up with the key players at school yourself to brainstorm about some behavioral interventions that you might try to help refocus son

invite your ex

she may or may not show

but at least you will get some help dealing with your son's behaviors

invite the school vice-principal
counselor
key teachers

express your concerns

ask for help

give any facts that might help them relate to son better

open that door to communication

get everyone you can on that same starting page

don't paint ex as the bad guy even if she is and even if she doesn't show up

there is no bad guy...there are only facts

son needs an adult to take some control

you be that adult
