#3  Correct She'll be back - if she wants to go back. As of now, she wields serious Lib Cred, and can prolly go wherever she wants to for a "teaching" gig. Except Idaho.

#2  She's on 'administrative leave' not fired.
Still being paid, accumulating senority and benefits. Prediction: She'll be back at a different school in a semester or so.
Teachers in California charged with felonies can't be fired until they're convicted; it's happened.

#1  Ideally, she would never get any job in the education field for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, she's probably even more in demand now.
