A Washington Heights high school principal is facing a probe by the New York City Department of Education for allegedly discriminating against white teachers.
The probe was launched after faculty members at High School for Law and Public Service accused principal Paula Lev of discriminating against staff and conspiring to get a white colleague fired.
Faculty filed a complaint with the Education Department and also voted they had ‘no confidence’ in Lev’s leadership.
The complaint, which was obtained by the New York Post, claims that Lev ‘flagrantly but unsuccessfully attempted to divide our school by race’ and told an employee that she ‘was going to get rid of all these white teachers that aren’t doing anything for the kids of our community.’
