When they questioned the bogus charges, she immediately revoked the permit and harshly threw them out for questioning her itemized billing practices. If there is evidence that she is corrupt and these offenses are reported to the board of ed, hopefully they will launch a full investigation into her ethics and practices so she cannot continue to victimize more trusting and unsuspecting people.

On June 2, 2...When? When will this nonsense stop? On June 2, 2010, there was a ‘Code Blue’ at PS 106Q and principal Marcella Sills was not in the building. What does it takes to remove this crook? She showed up at 2:35PM after she was called about the ‘Code Blue.’ She did not drive her car when she finally showed up at 2:35PM because of course she was pretending that she was already at work. Liar, she is late every day. Who is she supervising when she shows up for work at 2:35PM? She is blatantly stealing time. Check with the teachers in the building she has been on time on no more than four occasions this school year. If the NYCDOE is lucky she shows up by 11:30AM. She has the acting assistant principal, math coach, IEP teacher, senior school aide, Core Knowledge facilitator, and parent coordinator covering for her.<br />Superintendent Michele Lloyd-Bey, you must be aware of this blatant theft of time by now. What do you intend to do about it? I must remind you that you are also paid by tax payers’ dollars. Does this scoundrel have secrets for you? Why aren’t you doing your job? We all know she is incompetent but you can relief her of her position because she blatantly steals time. She has not earned her pension or sick time. Who is keeping tabs? Certainly not a particular OSI investigator. I wonder what his hours are? He ‘investigates’ at PS 106 Q late evenings when the principal shows up. <br />The mayor and school chancellor should be investigating the principal of PS 106Q and the superintendent for district 27. They should not be allowed to collect their pay checks. One for theft of time and the other for negligence. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The people of Far Rockaway pay taxes and deserve better for their children. Who cares for the poor? Wake up people in authority and get rid of the crooks running this school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-43153149467880157192010-05-30T23:19:18.373-04:002010-05-30T23:19:18.373-04:00That is the case unfortunately.That is the case unfortunately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-38883012071063966312010-05-30T19:39:13.196-04:002010-05-30T19:39:13.196-04:00Unlike Charlie Crist,Patterson is not running for ...Unlike Charlie Crist,Patterson is not running for office.

They were forced upon them by the UFT leaders as told by a state assemblymen to a teacher in his community.

Is it not ironic that we had an election shortly before this? Is it not also interesting that the two main parties of the Union ran as a united slate? It looks like we were unable to explain this to the populace. The weakness of the old sysem was that the administrators weretoo lazy or incompetant to follow the procedure to remove poor teachers and now we all must pay for their laziness.MUSICAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08653768286288002642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-31860310650232566542010-05-29T22:59:08.332-04:002010-05-29T22:59:08.332-04:00Who would be the "peers" reviewing me?
