Program Description:
The threatened budget cuts in public education will lead to major teacher layoffs. Today we will look at the effects the cuts will have on students, teachers, and the unions. Our guests are Bryan Glass, former attorney for New York State's Teachers Union and practicing privately representing teachers, Betsy Combier, New York City "Rubber Room Reporter" and founder of ParentAdvocates.org, and Michael Mazzariello, former Chief Prosecutor for the NYC Board of Education.
Principals can make anything up knowing the law supports them. This thing is miscalled "tenure" which is nothing of the kind. It is civil service protections, but unfortunately in public ed principals can do anything they want to a teacher. A teacher doesn't have to do anything wrong. It's laughably easy for districts to get rid of teachers.
