I feel for the young girl, her family and the children at PS 194M. The DOE knew about Koppelsons incompetence and unacceptable practices but for whatever reason, they supported her and ignored the cries of the staff that reported situations anonymously for fear of this principal's retaliation. Koppelson used the school credit card to pay for gas for her personal vehicle. She also used it to pay for food for herself. Her husband, not a DOE employee, spent days in the building without boundaries. He was around children (without fingerprints or clearances) and sexually harassing the female staff. Children were removed by EMS for made up reasons—I witnessed this myself—so that she could get them off her back. The Safety Division was many times in disagreement with Koppelson’s poor work ethics but I guess this person did not have enough authority to do anything about it. Koppelson also made up stories to have one of her assistant principals removed from the school and demoted back to a teaching position. She made up stories against her other assistant principal who was lucky enough to resign and go back to teaching so she wouldn’t suffer the same consequences as the other one did. And Koppelson hired Bruce Levenberg, a former principal, who was making big bucks for ‘sitting there’ and supposedly advising Koppelson. And not to mention how the teachers’ union rep, Ms. Hogan, sold them all out so she can move up as an assistant principal. Luckily, Hogan demonstrated her incompetence and once Koppelson was gone, so was she—hopefully with ‘U’ rating. And all this and much more with the support of her superintendents but I guess people with connections, such as her mother who is also a retired principal, have the ability to screw up people (young and old) this way. But God doesn't like ugly and the truth always comes out. I hope that the DOE removes Koppelson once and for all, now demoted as Assistant Principal, and all those that supported her evil ways. About the DUI arrest that went unreported, a reprimand is what the DOE would do to supervisory employees. If it had been one of the 'little' ones, the outcome would've been different. For a principal, a slap on the wrist will do. Koppelson has done much more damage to the children and staff of the school. I hope she gets the punishment she deserves.
