“For seven hours a day, five days a week, hundreds of Department of Education employees - who’ve been accused of wrongdoing ranging from buying a plant for a school against the principal’s wishes to inappropriately touching a student - do absolutely no work. In an investigation inside the nine reassignment centers called ‘rubber rooms’ where these employees are sent, The Post has learned that the number of salaried teachers sitting idly waiting for their cases to be heard has exploded to 757 this year - more than twice the number just two years ago - at a cost of about $40 million a year, based on the median teacher salary.” (09/30/07)
