Yes.
I read about a NYC teacher who has been on the payroll for many years (something like 9 years) after being accused. He doesn’t have a class, he goes to the “rubber room” with other unfirable teachers. It is hard to fire them.
Right! Thanks for reminding me about those infamous “rubber rooms.” I remember hearing about them, too, now. In some districts, teachers that are accused or involved in some form of sexual misconduct just spend their working days inside a room, where they still get paid, but only do things like read or crossword puzzles.
