A reassignment center (also known as a rubber room) is a type of holding facility administered by the New York City Department of Education for teachers accused of misconduct while awaiting resolution of their misconduct cases.[1][2] As of 2007, the city had thirteen reassignment centers.[3] The teachers are not required to do anything, and they may be assigned to the center for months or years.[citation needed]
Three Department of Education employees speaking to the UFT’s “New York Teacher” confirmed teachers’ allegations that Fordham High School for the Arts Principal Iris Blige filed allegations against the school’s UFT chapter leader, to place her in a reassignment center, in order to intimidate her and to set an example to the school’s staff.
