Sills promised the film company access at the normal board of ed rates, and then more than quadrupled the price at the last minute. When the film company requested clarification, she demanded payment or threatened to revoke the permit. Then she revoked the permit to hide the evidence from the board of ed. The Film shoot left the area instead of being taken advantage of her extortion she tried to inflict upon them under duress. The board of Ed let her get away with it despite the evidence of Sills criminal intension to extort money.

AND, most importantly, why are teachers being made to feel as though they should be grateful to work with these very horrible examples of leadership- so Ms.Sills joins the famous Andrea Belcher who blazed the trail for incompetancy, predjudice and misappropriation of funds. When she first took over at PS181, it was an "A" school. Within 4 years, the DOE could not even figure out how there was enough money to keep the doors open. Let's not forget the lower grades and the handful of teachers who she made up lies about and forced into retirement. Along with that went the conspiracy of silence, teachers afraid to speak out and a UFT rep who retired in disgrace because she did absolutely nothing to protect the staff or school. Wait, there is much, much more... fake payments to "consultants" who never worked a day anddddd...a personal parking spot painted on the ground in front of the building which everyone knew that had better not park in or an announcement would be made to move your car..The list is endless. And the consequence, nothing because even at this writing, Andrea Belcher still draws a salary and works in the very same district she took from<br />One might say " If I did that, I would be arrested? Humiliated?" But , as usual, no one says anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-6900100618470575522014-01-17T21:04:05.593-05:002014-01-17T21:04:05.593-05:00Anon 8:52

All the ethnic essentialism on display here is not positive. Finally this story is much ,much bigger than one principal. One of the local news teams was shouting question s about the availability of books at Ms. Sills. As an ATR I can tell you that at least tens of thousands of students are taking Regents in subject areas without a text to take home in many cases not even a classroom set. This was a story that any news organization could have reported on, on any day for the last dozen years. But they didn't. Now DB is in for a couple of days and the investigations start? Please.

False investigations, orders of protection, and "progressive discipline" are why most teachers, parents and even a few bold students stopped speaking out.

I think not. They're the ones ultimately responsible for turning a blind eye to Sills' mismanagement and gross incompetence. They're the ones who have given the school "good" grades despite all the evidence that the school is (literally) rotting from within. Mismanagement and awarding bad behavior from administrators is an epidemic at Tweed, and most of the Tweed admins are white males.

The DOE has hired an overwhelming number of black women from Jamaica and other islands in the Caribbean and put them in "leadership" positions. They have purposely chose to do this as opposed to hire Black men for leadership positions of equal qualifications and aptitude. I have worked for 3 Jamaican women in my career and they are all cut from the same cloth in terms of their demeanor and "management" style. They definitely bring their culture into how they deal with staff and run their buildings. And if you don't think they don't discriminate against African-Americans, there is a bridge I can sell you. I know for a fact that they view their jobs with a sense of overwhelming power and influence.....so much so that the education of children is a nuisance to them....they are too busy trying to impress their fellow immigrants from the island and their people back home.

Unfortunately, most if not all of them got shafted by Sills via her bullying techniques, evil inclinations and gross incompetence. Having superintendent Lloyd Bey protect this grossly incompetent Principal is even a greater shame for the entire education community. Joel Klein and his buddy Bloomberg did a great injustice to the NYCDOE by creating that Mickey Mouse Leadership Academy at which they accepted candidates that had no business being anywhere near students and true educators. From the day Sills appeared as Acting Principal at 106, she has been nothing but an embarrassment to the pedagogic world.
