Bilingual educators brought from the Dominican Republic to work for the city Department of Education were ordered by a middle school teacher to shut up about the steep cost of the rooms they were forced to rent — or be exiled from the program, they told The Post.
Currently, 19 Dominican teachers are shacked up in the Bronx at three rooming houses run by the Association of Dominican American Supervisors and Administrators — a fraternal group of DOE principals and other employees.in a two-family home it leased on Baychester Avenue, and three in a Marion Avenue co-op listed in city records as owned by Polanco’s mother, Juana Polanco-Abreu.
Except for the married couple who share a room, each person pays $1,350 to $1,450 a month for individual rooms, while sharing a kitchen and bathroom. They use Zelle, a banking app, to pay their rent to ADASA treasurer and DOE administrator Daniel Calcaño, sources said. After the teachers’ pleas for receipts of their rent payments went unanswered, they sent an email asking Calcaño, Polanco and Savery for a meeting to discuss their concerns about costs.
Amid a widening scandal over the Dominican teacher program, the DOE removed Polanco, first vice president of ADASA, from MS 80 this month. Last week, three members of ADASA’s executive board — Polanco, Calcaño and Jay Fernandez — abruptly booted Socorro Diaz, the organization’s president.In a letter to ADASA members obtained by The Post, Diaz said “I have invested a lot in this organization and I loved the original mission statement established by the organization.
“The principal, without investigating, talked to her and said ‘You have to leave the school because Savery told me having you here is illegal,’” a friend of the teacher said. MS80Hawks/Twitter
