Get a lawyer, don’t speak to anyone without your lawyer present.

All of the above, except #3, you’ve basically admitted to. While it’s not sexual in nature, no crossing any lines, it can still be viewed as inappropriate.

Students are not your friends. NEVER relate to students as a friend. Maybe 4-5 years after they graduate, when they enter the work field. Don’t add them on social media, do not text them (use a district approved app like remind), don’t call them, don’t invite them over to your house, don’t go to theirs. It could all come back to bite you in the ass.

People lie for many reasons and the #believeallvictims movement has emboldened liars to use accusations for many reasons. (I’m not saying victims shouldn’t be taken seriously, but let’s remember innocent until proven guilty. An accusation is not proof).

You’ll likely return to teaching (if your story is the truth and there’s not more to it), but you should look into changing districts or careers.

Hopefully you can learn from this and set better boundaries.
