I'm linking this not to point out one man's innocence, or to focus on the girls who lied but because of the last sentence in the report:

The district also changed the reason Leardini left the school system. Leardini's lawyer says he thinks the school has learned not to rush employees to quit amid allegations.

It along with this from NBCNews.com tell me that they've learned from the experience.

He said Leardini’s successful claim would make school boards more cautious about their handling of complaints against teachers.

Largess said "it has given them pause" about rushing to force accused employees to resign, the Observer reported.

I think a school system shouldn't knee jerk any employee into a resignation over any allegations until they have evidence. I'm glad this district is learning. Hopefully other businesses and districts will follow suit (for both genders)

Just my 2¢
