NYC DOE hit with record number of complaints about misbehaving teachers in 2022By Jacob Geanous

Complaints about misbehaving New York City Department of Education teachers and workers skyrocketed to a record 9,813 last year — up 60% from 2021, a disturbing new report found.
The Special Commissioner of Investigation’s troubling tally eclipsed the record set in 2019 of 9,638 complaints.
Investigators concluded last year at least 263 school employees broke criminal law or administrative rules, including 40 cases involving inappropriate or sexual misconduct, according to the agency’s 2022 annual report.
Yet only 17 SCI cases were referred to prosecutors, and only four of those cases made it to court.
“We are deeply concerned by the lack of follow through and accountability regarding cases of sexual misconduct in New York City Schools,” Emily Miles, executive director of New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault, told The Post.
