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.”

Telling the Truth: The urgent need for a genuine teacher evaluation system in New York State

At the same time that New York public schools are failing thousands of our students in their preparation for college or careers, we bestow the vast majority of our teachers with positive job evaluations. If we are not able to implement an effective teacher evaluation system this year, we face the loss of nearly 1.7 billion dollars in federal aid and state aid combined. This report reveals for the first time the cost to the state’s largest school districts if they fail to implement teacher evaluations.
