New York City Continues To Use "Rubber Rooms" For Suspended Teachers

The New York Post (5/27, Edelman) reported that over 200 teachers in New York City "suspected of misconduct or incompetence are hidden in offices all over the city. In the infamous rubber rooms that closed in 2010, up to 770 castoffs were jammed into several giant rooms. Now no more than a handful sit in exile at each place." The piece notes that some perform menial tasks, but others are "warehoused."
