Is this the schools place or not?

I'm on the fence as to what to think about this so all opinions gratefully received.
I had a call from the head of my DD year saying that a pupil had told another teacher that my DD14 had sex with a boy from her year on new years eve.
The teacher told the head of year who said she felt I should know my DD is having sex.
The boy in question was not with my DD on New years eve.
Should the teacher have found out more info and made sure her facts were correct?
Of course if this was true I'd want to know about it but not sure if teacher should have acted on hearsay.
What do you think?

School is damned if they do, damned if they don't.

I don't see how they could have verified anything unless you want them to call in SS or the police to investigate.
It sounds like a case of shooting the messenger, sorry to say.

The school couldn't have verified whether your DD had sex out of school.

I know it's a hard call for the school. And I want to reiterate that I do want to know of any goings on like this.
I was wondering how many questions they asked the child that told as this was relayed to the year head 3rd hand.
I'll ask the year head tomorrow.
