It sounds like you made somebody above you look bad and they want to
get rid of you.

Most companies want the easy way out. They will suggest that you
resign and they want you to resign because, indeed they do not have to
pay unemployment benefits, your severance pay, etc.

It is harder for them to fire you. They might want to avoid any
possibility of a lawsuit for "unjust termination". Even if you did
something seriously wrong, a lawsuit is embarrasing for a company.
They don't want to stir up other employees and they will have to come
up with proof either you were laid off for economic reasons or you
violated some rule or discriminated or harrassed a fellow employee,
etc. Plus, there are legal expenses on both sides if you sue and it
goes to trial (which in most of these cases, it almost never does).

Furthermore, if you work for a school district, you may have civil
service rights that further specify reasons for just and unjust
termination. No government agency, let alone a school district wants
to be involved in an expensive lawsuit over terminating an employee.

Basic advice - Don't leave voluntarily. Don't sign any papers that
say you did bad things. If the job is that valuable to you, start
looking for a good employment lawyer.
