In the news on Wednesday, the tabloids continue to have a field day with the case of a teacher who has collected his $100,000-a-year salary for a decade while assigned to “rubber room”-type duty.

The case of Alan Rosenfeld, a former typing instructor, has prompted The New York Post to look more closely at the records of the case against the teacher, who was accused by six girls in junior high school “of leering at them and making inappropriate remarks.”

The case was botched because of the DOE’s inability to produce required documentation — such as attendance records — for four of the six student witnesses at his 2003 disciplinary hearing, records show.

According to The Post, an independent hearing officer, Eric Lawson Jr., summarized the case against Mr. Rosenfeld in 2003.

“Five of the six [charges] were dismissed because of the district’s failure to timely and in a thorough manner supply student records,” Lawson wrote.

“[Rosenfeld] was neither adjudicated guilty nor was he found innocent of these five specifications since they were disposed of on procedural grounds,” Lawson added.

Rosenfeld now spends his days as a copy clerk in a DOE facility, and uses most of his time to manage his multimillion-dollar real-estate portfolio.

In another article, The Post examined that real estate portfolio:

Over the past decade while sitting in a rubber room — now called “administrative reassignment” — typing teacher Alan Rosenfeld has overseen a 14-property real-estate empire.

The Post found that Rosenfeld, who hasn’t been in a classroom since 2001, holds deeds to mostly one-, two- and three-family homes in several Queens neighborhoods.

In all, his land is worth more than $6 million, according to city and county records and the Property Shark Web site.

Also in the news on Wednesday, a new advocacy group has placed the cost of the state’s failure to adopt a new evaluation system for educators at $1.7 billion.

An Associated Press report says that the group, New York Campaign for Achievement Now, or NYCAN, which has ties to the charter school movement, has estimated $1 billion could be lost statewide in addition to the $700 million in jeopardy if school districts do not adopt the evaluation system to satisfy the conditions of the Obama administration for federal assistance.

Progress is reportedly being made by districts throughout the state in reaching agreements with their teachers’ unions. But if those efforts fail, the report says, “New York City schools would lose $592 million in total aid over the next two years; Buffalo would lose almost $51 million; Rochester would lose $48 million; Syracuse would lose $43 million; Yonkers would lose $16 million; and Albany would lose over $4 million.”

Coming up on Wednesday around the city:

The Department of Education releases the data on outcomes for students enrolled in schools that closed at the end of last school year — how many dropped out, how many graduated, how many transferred and to where. The report fulfills a City Council mandate.

At 3 p.m., students and other protesters are being summoned to Union Square in Manhattan for another rally against the mayor’s school closings policy and the lack of preparedness by black and Latino students for college.

And at 4:30 p.m., the High School of Fashion Industries holds its third annual “Life in Fashion” event, organized by IMG Fashion, Lincoln Center and the Department of Education. Students from around the city will gather to hear panelists speak about careers in fashion. Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott will make an appearance, and panelists include Betsey Johnson, Leandra Medine, Derek Warburton and Malcolm Carfrae. The school is on West 24th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues.
