Hearsay is used all the time to investigate cases. Hearsay is only inadmissible during trial. So even if it was hearsay, if it leads to them uncovering other evidence they find, that other evidence would be allowed. Just the hearsay comments would not be allowed. Good luck.
Hearsay is an out of court statement offered to prove the truth of whatever was asserted in the statement. It’s inadmisible in court–but the rule ONLY applies to court. Not school.
