Why are the schools covering for the teacher? Heck, that's an easy answer.....money. the district doesn't want to be sued into oblivion if the charges are found to be false. They are just doing a CYA to mitigate any blowback from any decision they make. But they will get squeezed from both sides anyway. The ultimate answer is who has more authority, pissed parents who pay taxes or teachers who haven't been tried in a court of law yet?

Paid leave works. In fact most Judges would put in the order not to be around children or the alleged victims until the investigation was completed..
