KIPP Hired Sexual Abuser Fired by NYC Schools

[Hannah Bell]

. . . .Wayne Bartley, 46, a former science teacher at KIPP AMP Academy Middle School, held his illicit trysts with the 13-year-old girl, at the Paradise Motor Inn, a hot sheet motel in the Bronx, from March 2008 to May 2009, according to the Special Schools Investigator Richard Condon....

Bartley, who earned $60,000 a year, worked at IS 229 from 2005 to 2008 then transferred IS 392 in Brooklyn. He was "discontinued" in July 2009, according to Department of Education spokeswoman Marge Feinberg.

But, he landed a science teacher position at KIPP during the 2009 to 2010 school year and was fired in June after administrators learned of the investigation.

Wow, this story raises a lot of questions.


1) Since public school teachers are, as we all know, impossible to fire, how did this guy ever get fired?

2) The "Superman" teachers at charter schools are fired public school teachers?

3) If the teacher was fired by the public schools, why didn't KIPP check the reason for the firing?
