“We have a no-bullying rule for the schools,” parent Heidi Rotondo told Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott at a District 21 Community Education Council town hall meeting on Jan. 11. “So what are you doing about the principal at PS 90 who’s doing the bullying?”
Walcott dodged the question, insisting he couldn’t deal with “personnel specifics publicly.”
Rotondo was one of more than two dozen parents from Coney Island’s PS 90 who turned out at the town hall meeting to complain about Greta Hawkins, the principal since September 2009 and a New York City Leadership Academy grad.
Parents and teachers want her gone.
I doubt they will get anywhere. People protested against Iris Blige, another notoriously bad principal, and nothing was done to her of any consequence.
That's because these principals, while they may be naturally unfit for the jobs, are doing the bidding of the higher-ups.
Hawkins is regularly reviewed over at Teacher Voice.
