Spano's stance is in response to a recent release of a hidden-camera video showing Yonkers teacher union leaders advising an undercover reporter, who is impersonating a teacher, on how to avoid disciplinary charges for allegedly hitting a child at an unnamed school.
“I found this video to be disturbing and upsetting on many levels,” Spano said. “As a result, I am urging our Board of Education Trustees to cease all contract negotiations with the YFT until the IG has fully investigated the matter, which I believe exhibits the intent to cover up a crime.”
As a result of the video’s content, the Yonkers Inspector General has agreed to investigate the YFT leadership and its practices.
