Teachers

The majority of schools in District 1 could face major layoffs under the city's proposed teacher firings.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg is seeking to lay off 4,666 teachers and lose another 1,500 through attrition.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg warned of thousands of city layoffs if the budget proposed by Gov. Cuomo is passed.

The governor's newly released budget includes serious cuts, including $518 million less in education aid for the city.

The mayor wants more leeway to fire bad teachers than that proposed by state lawmakers.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo will announce next Tuesday how much education funding the city will lose.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that failure to reform the costly pension system will result in serious layoffs.

The new law will force schools to disclose extensive information about suspensions and police activity.

The reforms come as the city plans to open a new school for grades nine to 14, and add new technology to schools.

The fire broke out in a trash can inside the cafeteria at the Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics, the FDNY said.

More New York City public school teachers were denied tenure this year, many based on students low test scores.

The teacher who let kids she knew couldn't swim into the water, leading to a girl's drowning, was fired.

At least 2,000 teaching jobs and an unknown number of non-teaching positions will be slashed in 2011.

Seniors at Manhattan's elite public school posted names of classmates under the heading "I'd Tap That" on school property.

The mayor said that he will not provide the 2 percent raise, which had been promised to city teachers and principals.
