The main thing is to seek legal representation as these matters can be minefields because of the highly charged nature of these types of allegations. You said that she only worked on the job for two weeks. If she is in a union she can ask for union representation. The biggest problem is that she may make statements without counsel that can be used against her later, even if she thinks it might exonerate her.

If the school and the parents are not investigating or not taking the matter further, ask for a written statment that there is going to be no investigation. That will put your wife's mind at ease. Get everything in writing, what was said, whether or not they felt the child was being truthful, why there is no follow up or investigation, all of it. Good luck.
