How can a teacher move beyond an article in the paper that gives incorrect information on a dismissal?

A teacher is also a parent in a district. The teacher has over 20 years experience and tenure in another district but moves to the district where her children attend. The teacher is denied tenure and students go to the school board with a petition and the story makes the paper of the teacher being removed. Comments in the newspaper are not correct, the teacher is misquoted and allegations are made of unprofessional conduct such as yelling too loud at her son's sporting event. The teacher has an impeccible record until this past year when the principal railroaded her with piddley things such as the yelling at the game, sending an email criticizing a party after directives not to have holiday parties, etc. How can this be overcome and a new teaching position found? Should the teacher be upfront with the newspaper article or ignore it? Is it best to address what happened and hope a new district will forgive? Officially the teacher resigned, other references are impeccable.
