School "Reform" Rolls On; Liberals YAAAWWWWN. Then snooooze.

>>>>>A Bronx principal told her assistant principals to give specific teachers unsatisfactory ratings - before even conducting observations of their work, investigators found.

City officials released records Friday showing they substantiated the disturbing charges against Iris Blige of Fordham High School for the Arts.

She was fined $7,500 as part of settling the disciplinary actions, but she was allowed to keep her job.

Blige directed her assistant principals to get rid of certain teachers before any observations of their work were completed, the investigators found.

She also targeted about a dozen teachers for "unsatisfactory" ratings, investigators alleged.

" is extremely unscrupulous in the way she does her job," said United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew.

Blige denied the allegations to investigators.

To settle the case, she acknowledged only that her instructions were "construed" to mean she wanted teachers to get unsatisfactory ratings without evaluations.

Blige's lawyer, Stephen Hans, called her "a stellar principal" with an A rating on the city's progress report and blamed the investigation on "a bunch of teachers" who ganged up on her.

"Rather than challenge these sort of charges, she took the higher road and put this behind her.">>>>>>>>

1. I'm thinking the idiot must have *emailed* the APs.
That's the only way they ( the union and the teachers) could have gotten the NYC DOE's investigative apparatus to act.

It's obvious this nitwit has friends in the upper echelons.
