The Current Situation

I have written both the mayor and the chancellor many times about this issue and never get a reply. Chancellor Klein had demanded a full investigation of these matters, but people in his General Counsel’s Office quickly squelched it.
The chancellor had been adamant that inquiry was needed, and I seriously doubt that he knows that it had been terminated. I had listed complaints against my former principal for destruction of official records, obstruction of justice and other crimes. This man was then appointed Deputy Superintendent of District 75 by the chancellor himself. He must have thought the investigation found this man innocent.
This man has been rewarded for his Gross Incompetence with promotion after promotion. Other more qualified candidates were passed over so this man could advance his career.
We need to root out some of the corruption that runs through

District 75

, the Department of Education and the rest of NY city government – to do this we need to find out how come both my assaults and the subsequent cover-ups have never been properly investigated.

Check out: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO LARRY HAYES? They NEVER have!

I want to know how the

homophobic racist maniac

who attacked me can be returned to the classroom. I want to know how a principal could destroy official records, concoct false documents, lie under oath in order to continue this cover up, and never be questioned by any of the people charged with investigating such wrongdoing.

I am pressing my case because I feel that city investigators have bought into the worst stereotypes of gay people. And, I am making it my business to make sure this never happens again!
The people who have covered this have no regard for the mayor or the chancellor. They have no regard for the people of New York City. The fact is that they are more than willing to put the children of New York at risk.
The individual who assaulted me was removed from the school and sent to the district office. But once there, the administrators wanted him out of the district office because they were afraid of him; he was stalking women who worked there and menacing anybody who crossed his path the wrong way. They wanted this person - of whom THEY were afraid - back in the classroom working with children ASAP!
THE ORIGINAL COVER-UP
How could I be assaulted twice in front of many witnesses and it has been totally ignored??? I filed the complaints with the police. Shaking with pain I dutifully filled out and filed appropriate Incident and Accident Forms. I filed my handwritten witness statement as required by law.
No one cares to investigate why there are no other appropriate witness statements collected by the principal as required by law?

Many of these critical documents are missing, yet no one asks who took or destroyed them?

How could a principal be allowed to mislead a police investigation by using vulgar homophobic stereotypes to mislead the DA’s Office?

Kevin McCormack violated every one of the Chancellor’s Regulations on reporting school violence, yet no one has ever even questioned him on the matter? He even swore under oath that he was not familiar with these well-known regulations even though he was a Supervising Principal?

This same Supervising Principal swore he did not know what the responsibilities of a principal regarding the safety of students and staff, yet he was soon afterwards promoted to the post of Deputy Superintendent????

How could a principal be allowed to mislead a police investigation by using vulgar homophobic stereotypes and use them again and again to mislead the DA’s Office?

Has no one in New York City Government ever heard of Obstruction of Justice?

I need to also know why no one has investigated this extensive series of subsequent cover-ups.

SUBSEQUENT COVER- UPS

THE CORPORATION COUNSEL

The attorney who represented the Corporation Counsel’s Office in defense of the city HAD to be in collaboration with Kevin McCormack in order to let him present such bogus evidence and such bizarre testimony at my civil case.

Both Mr. Thompson and Mr. McCormack never notified the DOE that there was to be a court hearing as required by law.
Thus, Kevin McCormack could fabricate implausible versions of events surrounding my two gay-bashings and not have his testimony vetted by anybody at the DOE, because anybody with any knowledge of educational policy would have thrown both this principal and this lawyer right out of the building.

Has no one in New York City Government ever heard of Conspiracy to Commit Fraud?
THE GENERAL COUNSEL’S OFFICE

The Chancellor’s Chief Counsel received a sharp letter of reprimand from Chancellor Klein after Betsy Gotbaum informed the Chancellor about the continued cover-up of my gay bashing. As I have noted above, there was an investigation started... STARTED.
Once progress was made the Michael Best stopped all further investigation.
The chancellor was then led to believe that this principal had been cleared – so the chancellor was duped into appointing this guy to the post of Deputy Superintendent of District 75
Oh YES, 75 is “The Chancellor’s District” !

Why weren’t the Chancellor’s clear orders followed? Has no one in New York City Government ever heard of Insubordination and Conspiracy to Commit Fraud?

Finally the DOI

If cronyism is behind his refusal to investigate Kevin McCormack and Michael Best, he is the worst offender of the bunch. This is a complete betrayal of Trust!

The chief investigator for corruption at the Department of Education, Richard Condon, has for years treated my complaints and accusations as material for what amounts to a practical joke. Each time my letters wind up on his desk he forwards them to a department that has no jurisdiction over charges of corruption; the DOE's Office of Special Investigations mainly deals with corporal punishment and verbal abuse !

I have spoken to Mr. Hyland and others in OSI and they told me that they do NOT investigate such things as cover-ups and malfeasance by administrators.

When I asked Mr. Condon why his office repeatedly sends my complaints to an office that is not equipped to investigate it, he sent me a letter stating that his decisions were at his discretion and he does not have to explain them to others.

Has no one in New York City Government ever heard of Edward F. Stancik???


Perhaps by passing on this information both the mayor and the chancellor may see that having a real Board of Education acting as advocates for our children will enable them to have ALL the information they need to properly run the schools.
