Bilingual teachers brought from the Dominican Republic to work in New York City public schools have been treated like indentured servants by educators acting as their slumlords, The Post has learned.
Bronx principal Emmanuel Polanco, along with fellow DOE administrators has put a dozen teachers from the DR in an apparently illegal boarding house in the Bronx.Several teachers who balked at the terms or insisted on finding their own housing — including one who wanted to live with his brother in NYC – were terminated and sent packing, their colleagues said. Others fear they may lose their J-1 visas, which allow foreigners to work or study in the US if they disobey.
“Right now, if I went back to the Dominican Republic, the only thing that I would find there, other than my family, is financial problems,” said teacher recruit Neylin Puello.Under city rules, a financial relationship between a superior and subordinate, including the leasing of property, is prohibited., 39, was quietly ousted from the Norwood middle school and “reassigned pending resolution of a personal matter,” District 10 Superintendent Maribel Torres-Hulla said in a Nov. 2 email to families.
Polanco and the other administrators have been charging the instructors $1,450 each month, according to multiple sources. Puello said he is charged $1,300 a month, not $1,450 like the others because his room is the smallest, furnished only with a full-sized bed, a dresser, and a wall-mounted TV.
