Disgraced New York City typing teacher has collected 100 K a year plus benefits for the last 10 years.
In a defiant raspberry to the New York Department of Education — and to taxpayers — disgraced teacher Alan Rosenfeld, 66, won’t retire.
Deemed a danger to kids, the typing teacher –with a $10 million real estate portfolio — hasn’t been allowed in a classroom for more than a decade.
He continues to still collect $100,049 a year in city salary. And he gets health benefits, a growing pension nest egg, vacation and sick pay.
New York City Mayor Bloomberg and New York Gov. Cuomo can call for better teacher evaluations until they’re blue-faced.
But Rosenfeld and six peers with similar gigs costing about $650,000 a year in total salaries remain untouchable.
Under the New York City system, shackled by protections for tenured teachers, they can’t be fired, says the Dept. of Education.
