This is a 'person bites dog' story.
Almost all cases of sex between teachers and students are male teachers and female students.
The "Teach women not to rape" archive.
The National Center for Education Statistics reports:
1.) No opportunity, no crime. Men are severely under-represented in the field, so even if they had the desire, they don't have the opportunity.
In 2007–08, some 76 percent of public school teachers were female, 44 percent were under age 40, and 52 percent had a master’s or higher degree. Compared with public school teachers, a lower percentage of private school teachers were female (74 percent), were under age 40 (39 percent), and had a master’s or higher degree (38 percent).
2.) Men are watched like hawks. Any display of physical intimacy is deemed sexual while a female teacher's display of physical intimacy is deemed innocent.
3.) Young girls see teachers as "creepers" but young boys want to nail the young female teacher, so the offer:acceptance ratio drastically favors female teachers.
This is a female-teacher centric issue.This is a 'person bites dog' story.

I have seen no statistics to back up your claim.
Here are numbers from one state:
Between 2008 and 2013, there have been about 150 cases of inappropriate relationships reported to the Alabama Department of Education. These "relationships" include not only sexual intercourse between a teacher and a student, but also inappropriately romantic or sexual communications between the two, said Susan Tudor Crowther, an attorney in the Office of General Counsel for the Alabama Department of Education.
For 2013, 66 percent of those complaints involved male teachers, while 34 percent involved female teachers. Are the numbers on the rise? It appears so, said Crowther who recently wrote an article for a trade publication called "Hot For Teacher: When Good Teachers Go Bad."

Three studies examined public records. Jennings and Tharp (2003) searched
educator sexual misconduct discipline proceedings of 606 teachers in Texas; 12.7
percent were females and 87.3 percent males. The Hendrie (1998) analysis of 244
cases in newspapers in a six month period reports a higher proportion of female
offenders than the later Jennings and Tharp analysis; 20 percent were female offenders
vs. 80 percent who were males. Gallagher (2000) reports 96 percent male and 4 percent
female offenders.

I appreciate your effort, but we're talking about today, not decades ago. As with the Priest Abuse phenomenon, reforms have taken place, so just like it would be misleading to point to past priest abuse to make a judgment of what is happening in Catholic Churches today, pointing to old per-hysteria patterns when men were more commonly employed as teachers doesn't tell us much about what is happening today.
Think about all of the changes in society regarding sexual harassment. Physicians used to examine female patients without having a nurse present, sexual harassment workshops were unheard of.
And on a methodological note - reported instances doesn't tell us anything about actual instances. I have absolutely no problem in believing that young girls will report male teachers vastly more often than young boys will report female teachers. Most of the female teachers being arrested today aren't due to reports, it's due to boys bragging and creating documentary evidence that gets stumbled on by parents or other adults. Texting and sexting provides evidence today that simply didn't exist decades ago.
Well then provide more recent data if you want to dispute mine.
I made the claim- I said that this issue is a 'person bites dog' story- because it is more compelling than cases about male teachers molesting students- and I claimed that most cases are men molesting students.
We know that men are much more likely to be sex offenders than women. I have provided some historical data showing that male teachers were the offenders by 6o-80% of the time. You provided data showing that women make up far more of the teacher workforce, which means that on a percentage level male teachers not only offend more, but that they offend at a higher rate than women teachers.
And I say this not to attack male teachers- or to defend female child molesters.
I just think that we are FAR more likely to hear about a case of a student molested by a teacher if newspaper has a photo of a sexy woman teacher attached.
The "teach women not to rape" archive is more recent data. Last year I looked for a recently published comprehensive study on the issue and couldn't find anything and you've probably seen the desert as well seeing how the best you could do was decades out of date studies which focused only on within-state instances.
You realize that this issue is not restricted to the OP story, the man bites dogs aspect, the phenomenon over the entire nation is now no longer a man bites dog, it's a pattern, too many stories, very frequent stories. Lordy, we just had a threesome story. Think about how that would have to develop. One teacher would have to confide in another teacher and get her to go along. That implies a culture where this is not seen as a serious crime - female teachers having sex with male students. Now imagine a male teacher getting another male teacher to have a threesome with a female student. Male teachers are policed more in their conduct than are female teachers.
Society has been very lax in handling coaches that bang students, compared to regular classroom teachers that get caught.
My most embarrassing moment in my entire career: I was called into a school to "mentor" a world class special ed basketball player.
He was a Jordan who could not write his name.
So, I am in the coach's office, having it explained that I had been transferred there to take care of this kid.
I had him three of the four periods a day, coach had him the other.
Anyway, I am in the coaches office, sitting on his couch, and the BB team comes in, laughing, and giggling.
Later my young BB player announced to the whole lunch shift in the cafeteria, that I had been sitting on coaches fucking coach.
The whole place erupted in laughter, and I was red as a beet.
Seems the whole town knew he was banging kids but me.
