The school district said it took “swift action” to investigate the accounts and also held an assembly for 8th-graders to “address the responsible use of social media.” Several students have been suspended over the fake TikTok accounts, 6ABC reported.

Goffredo said the administration also met individually with the affected teachers and removed their photos from the district’s website.

A TikTok spokesperson told NPR that the company was made aware of multiple fake accounts. When TikTok looked into the matter, some of the accounts were no longer available, and the company removed other accounts for violating its policies, which prohibit a user from impersonating others without disclosing that it is a parody or fan account.
