4 New York City teachers rake in millions, despite being banned from classrooms Three of the city’s longest-running “rubber room” teachers have raked in more than $1 million each for a decade of not working in classrooms, and a fourth is paid a top salary — $100,049 a year — not to teach. The Foul Four — who beat sexual-misconduct charges — can’t be fired by the Department of Education because they are entitled to job protections under state tenure laws, which require “due process.” Educators are entitled to a trial with an independent hearing officer who decides whether any misconduct warrants termination. A group of New York City parents filed a lawsuit this month seeking to loosen the restrictions after a California judge ruled teacher tenure in that state unconstitutional. The four banned teachers collect a total of $363,271 a year, plus pension and health benefits. www.foxnews.com/us/2014/07/13/4-new-york-city-teachers-rake-in-millions-despite-being-banned-from-classrooms/?intcmp=obinsite
