This Daily News article says it all about how the NYCDOE has a double standard towards principals and the school workers they rule.

Investigators with the office found last year that Richard Bost of Fordham Leadership Academy for Business and Technology groped his payroll secretary and repeatedly made lewd comments about her clothing and cleavage, sources said.
The Education Department removed the secretary from the school but kept Bost in place.

The best part of this story is this:
An Education Department official noted that none of the findings involved students. "If further allegations are determined to be true, we will take swift and appropriate action," said Danny Kanner. "We strongly encourage anyone who has been treated improperly to come forward, and we will investigate."
Sure. "Swift and appropriate action" means they will give this guy a promotion. I mean, come on. As long as the school gets good test scores, what's the problem?
I've even heard stories about non-tenured teachers who brought sexual harassment charges and won a judgement at the EOC being given U-ratings and fired.
