I am going to assume here you are at MS 223 in district 7? If you
are, that school is a mess and the Principal is out of his mind.
He just does anything he wants to do even if it means violating a
teacher's rights. They constantly overstep their authority and are
are protected by the Superintendent. He only hires first year
teaching fellows that are scared to speak up at that school and
that is why he gets away with so much. Carmen Fariņa is a regular
at that school. They are always being reported for a million
things to OSI and nothing ever happens. Other schools would be on
the news for the stuff my friends tell me goes on there. The
principal DOES have a dress code. If you are a man you MUST ware a
tie or they will get rid of you so I am told. The principal has
also been reported to the NYS Department of Human Rights in the
past for many things like discrimination against pregnant
employees and other violations. Under FOIL you may be able to read
about it. He gets away with lot and the Superintendent protects
the principal. I never worked in that school but I know two young
ladies who have one is still there. Good Luck!
