The Storman case could change everything in terms of the "Gotcha Squad" and the "rubberization" process, defined as the process in which "The Chancellor's Committee" works with Principals and pretend investigators to destroy people who say anything about them, their school(s), or the harm going on perpetrated by administrators gone wild.
Former Deputy Chancellors Andres Alonso (pictured at right) and Marcia Lyles (pictured below) agreed with the "U" as they always do, to support whatever charge is made without witness testimony and/or evidence.
The best way to get an overview of where the case stands right now and the ridiculous antics of the Bloomberg/Klein bunch in the matter of Glenn Storman is to read the Report and Recommendation of District Court Judge Andrew Peck.
Glenn Storman, is a tenured teacher and Guidance Counselor who has worked for the NYC BOE for 28 years. He was accused of corporal punishment and found guilty by the Principal based upon an allegation of student A, who he reprimanded for cursing at his classroom teacher. Student A told classmates that he would "get" Mr. Storman for waving a rolled up piece of paper near his face and telling him to stop [cursing]. A few days later the father met with Principal Marsella and told her that Mr. Storman had "inserted a piece of paper into Student A's mouth for the purpose of obtaining sexual pleasure". When OSI investigator Dennis Boyles came to the school to "investigate", Student A was not at school that day and was not interviewed. Mr. Storman then sued the New York City Board of Education in federal court for giving him a "U" rating and accusing him of corporal punishment without proof.

Josephine Marsella is pure evil. She will stop at nothing to hurt an employee and ruin their career. I am praying for Mr. Storman in his fight for justice along with all of the reassigned teachers. Godspeed to you.
I had a similar experience with Dennis Boyles, he fabricated my response to a question he never asked of me at the interview with my union rep present. I am willing to testify for Mr. Storman if he needs me to.
Iwork with Glenn and there isn't a nicer and more caring teacher in that school. We will miss you terribly when you retire.
What I want to know is, how much more do the teachers and staff have to put up with Marsella..I mean, enough already. When are the 'powers that be' going to open their eyes. This is NYC man, not some weak rural district...
Ms Marsella is very unprofessional.She yells all the time at staff members and even the kids.She demeans the staff even in front of parents and other office staff.Everyone is scared of her and she abuses her power.the teachers all gave her a good rating on the survey because they were scared of what might happen to them.she should resign or retire.
I agree completely that Marsela is evil and should never been given the role as principal. I was so glad to have my children leave 212 just because of her antics. I hope she goes down hard, it's about time.
