For those who have not seen a 3020 hearing, here is your chance. This is a special case in that the hearing officer is Douglas Bantle who is fair minded and gives the defense a chance. There's a lot of back story here about DOE attempts to settle on certain conditions. It seems they know they have a good chance to lose this one. So they are pulling out every stop. I'm not sure what it is safe to write about, so I will be cautious at this point. An important note is that with all the backlog of cases and the need to resolve many of them under the new rubber room agreement with the corresponding need to hire many more hearing officers, Bantle is being "fired."
Note also that there are no penalties for DOE officials caught in lies.
As I have been warning people, start taping EVERYTHING. Pre and post observations and even your own lessons where you are being observed.

For Immediate Release
On Monday, May 10, at 10 AM --
For the first time in the history of NYC Dept of Education Teacher Trials, a State Hearing Officer has requested and will allow an accused NYC Teacher to play secret tapes in his possession to prove his innocence.
This is a ground breaking event and will prove beyond any doubt that former
'Teacher of the Year', David Pakter, was falsely accused of wrongdoing by the NYC DOE.
No member of the media, Legal community or anyone interested in Justice can afford to miss this unique, first ever milestone in the history of the long struggle by NYC Educators to receive fair treatment and "Due Process" at the hands of the 23 Billion Dollar New York City Dept of Education.
Where: 49 Chambers Street, Manhattan 6th Floor
When: 10 A.M.
Who: Hon. Douglas J. Bantle, Esq. - Presiding
Christopher M. Callagy, Esq. - for the Defense
Philip Oliveri, Esq. - Prosecuting for NYC
*************************
Note: New York City teachers have been removed from their classrooms and schools for decades based on the flimsiest heresay, fabricated allegations and bogus charges. Often the teacher is totally innocent of the accusations but is at the mercy of a system that makes proving one's innocence difficult if not impossible.
The NYC Dept of Education will present Witnesses who despite being under Sworn Oath, will lie with impunity and not hesitate to commit the most outrageous acts of Perjury knowing that there is virtually no price to be paid if caught.
On Monday, May 10, at 10 A.M.
for the first time in history, a courageous and independent Hearing Officer, sitting in Judgement to decide a highly Decorated Educator's fate, will allow David Pakter to have a fair shot at Justice.
The Honorable Douglas J. Bantle, Esq. will permit the accused to let the entire public learn the Truth by playing a tape recording proving "who" said "what" and "where" and "when".
The Hearing Officer and the Attorneys will all hear what those who accused Mr. Pakter said - or did not say- from their own lips.
The great French writer,Victor Hugo, once said:
"There is no force on Earth so powerful as an Idea whose time has come."
That time is 10 A.M. on Monday, May 10
at 49 Chambers Street, 6th Floor, Manhattan.
Be a Witness to History.
