If I'm cleared of my name, should I remain in the school or apply for open posting? And if I apply for open posting, will this accusation follow me, even though I'm innocent? Or should I just quit?
Thanks for your advice!

I would try to apply for NPL citing the incident as a reason. After that, apply for open posting. News would have spread within the school, it will be extremely awkward and uncomfortable to stay put. If you do not have a christian name, maybe it will help to give yourself one, take it as a fresh start.
