This just came into the SBSB newsroom due to the hard work and vigilance of The Crack Team.For the first time ever a 3020-a of one of the teachers embroiled in the inanity and insanity at Central Park East 1 is being published.
Reading through this decision is stomach turning. The bullshit charges, the waste of taxpayer money, the wasteful year of the teacher's students, the time consumed, shows that the teacher discipline system is completely out of whack and the UFT if not complicit turns a blind eye to the kangaroo court that is the 3020-a process.
Again, this teacher was lucky and in the right school at the right time. The teacher had support from the teachers of CPE 1, MORE, and most importantly the parents and the community of CPE 1. Who gets charges, what the charges are, etc...are all dependent on a bunch of hacks in the DOE's legal department, SCI, and OSI, who decide on who is gulity and who should be charged using only this method to decide who shall be so blessed.
Another thing. This teacher was blessed to have Jordan Harlow as a lawyer. If you are a teacher that wants or needs legal representation and wish to avail yourself to outside counsel, run and do not walk, and get on the phone and contact Jordan post haste!
Read here for the 3020-a decision (UPDATE 9:38 PM EDT: Forgot to add the decision when first published!)...
Please tell us are you getting kickbacks in putting Jordan Harlow's name out there? Who or did he put you up to this? Are you his agent cause your blog is like getting real annoying like an on going advertisiement for this guy.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying Harlow wasn't the lawyer who got the win? What's wrong with saying his name?
DeleteThanks for posting the decision and the name of the attorney who got the win. To hell with the cynical commenter who can't accept that there are actually decent human beings who would recommend a talented attorney solely for the purpose of recommending a talented attorney for teachers in need of one.

ReplyDeleteI heard Jordan gets the win i.e. keeping your job--pretty often.
ReplyDeleteI hope never to be in need of him but if I am ever, I will reach out to him.
What is the average price to hire someone like Jordan for a 3020a case in NYC?
ReplyDelete5000 dollars and you get it all back at tax time. So spend it.
