1. Could I get into any legal trouble for this?
Guybrush already posted a probable law that will be broken, it is not practical for anyone here to scour the the complete Criminal or Educational laws of Virginia in order to make or draw any other conclusion, you can do that.

2. If so, is there any way I could realistically be caught? After all, how does the teacher know I'm not his dad?
And what if a follow up letter is sent to the parents; "Dear parents of joe blow, thank you for attending the Teacher's conference, etc., etc." Hmm.
Re: Posing As a Minor's Parent for a School Meeting
The kids grades will not improve. This teacher will be in direct contact with the real parents soon. The conference and what was discussed will be brought up. Then the parents, teacher, school, law enforcement and school district will know what happened. Don't forget the media. You are going to need your saving for an attorney, legal fees, etc.

Anything involving a minor and money exchanging should be a red flag.

After reviewing the state's laws on identity theft, while is it not likely it is also not impossible that this could be charged as well.

Well, having been a teacher of high school children for a while, I would suspect Ray Crocker is the teenager, else he's woofing us. The thing that he seems to totally discount is that IF the school boy is really trying to pull this off, and IF it did actually happen, about 95% of the students in the high school would know all about that stunt that Joe Highschool pulled off by paying some dude to come in and pretend to be his father......yada yada. And eventually, the teachers would hear, and eventually your stupid butt will be given up to law enforcement ("Pervert, the kid's life is ruined!") and a whole new future awaits you. Teens try to hire people to help them kill their parents, etc. but the one thing they do not do is keep their mouths shut, not snitch on each other, and not rush to tell everyone around them all about

It will not be long until it is on the internet. Teenagers think they are smarter than parents and teachers. They can't wait to tell everyone how smart they think they are.

I really hope your post is not an indication that you're considering doing this.

Yes and yes.
Here's my suggestion:
Show up at the meeting point with a printout of the craigslist ad (don't show the kid that you have it) and obtain the money. When you get to the classroom, show the teacher the ad and explain what happened. Give the teacher the money and ask that she make sure it gets to the kid's parents.

Teachers might not be stupid, but if she has never met his parents, and I'm old enough to be his parent (21/22 years older than him) then how does she know I'm not his dad?
If you're asking someone to acknowledge the possibility that you might get away with this, then yes, it's certainly possible -- maybe even likely.
If you're telling us that you think it's ok to commit a crime simply because you might get away with it, then I don't really understand why you even bothered to post here.
