It’s included in taxes. Nobody gets a bill. Just put it out when your neighbors do. The end. Welcome to Yonkers.

Attended YPS, my family worked for YPS, many friends did, and I did, briefly. Please do not get involved in this cabal in which the most powerful among the administration have not the slightest inclination to care for students and whether they learn. This ancient system of graft goes all the way to Albany and is locked down tight. Please do not join it. Anything is better. Go for Catholic or private schools in Westchester. But you will sorely regret entering YPS.

That sucks, I want to move to yps too since I live here and I’m tired of commuting to castle hill in the Bronx everyday. Isn’t the pay higher than the DOE? That would make up for the lack of teachers choice since you still end up with more money if you still spent the $250 on materials for the class

I always wondered how a teacher can do it in Yonkers. It’s rough city.

Only work contract hours. Do the bare minimum. Let them fire her. Tell her to cover her ass and use her personal email or Google docs to write everything down. Do not use any school software or email that she does not have control of. They will delete anything and everything that she writes in a system that they have control over.

tell her to stay in NYCDOE!! Lack of resources, unsupportive admin, lack of curriculum, tough neighborhood, admin never sides with you, no teacher's choice, it's bad. If I knew, I wouldn't have switched. I also switched for shorter commute.

If Spano wasn't eyetalian would you use derogatory terms based on the ethnicity or race??? Doubtful. Italian americans last safe group to openingly disparage.

Schomburg. They host little exhibits. Was donated by a realtor who lives on Buena Vista that was found in the attic of one of the houses they had bought to flip.

Our crimes are not reported officially. The same company that owns channel 12 News, owns our red light cameras, owns part of optimum/altice, owns the technology and computers in our school system, and is a major contributor to our Police departments.
All the illegal crap that cops do does not get reported at all. Internal affairs has been in Yonkers for over 25 years at this point and nothing gets done because they are stonewalled out. Some of the investigators happen to be related to spano and his father's Italian mob family.
There are tons of violence, robberies, stabbings, shootings. This hasn't been reported on since about 2010 because you can't gentrify an area if gentiles are afraid of moving in. The guy from Yonkers voice used to go in hard on all of that stuff but even he is being swayed.
We just had a lawsuit thrown out of the court system here where a certain lawyer, turned politician, who had his nephew killed to get him to fall in line under the mayor's grand scheme tried to reveal what was happening and it was tossed out.
The city's unofficial motto is Yonkers where nothing's on the level. Almost everything is run by someone connected to the spano mob family.

The politics here are that spano they son of a mob boss and all of the other Italian families have been running Yonkers since the eighties when they killed off the Polish mayor who had refused to give the Italians the city's contract for sanitation. Spano is about to break the law once again and make it so that he can run for a fourth term. A third one was illegal. Almost every city contract goes to somebody who is in bed with him. Local city and state regulators happen to be related to him or have connections with him or his father.

Half of the politicians that we currently have had members who are in the KKK. Museum in Manhattan has a plaque that was found in one of their meeting places in Yonkers with the names of very prominent families here who are still in politics who happen to still run the city

Dk. You would have to google the stats. I just know I never felt fully safe living in Yonkers. Things may have changed since I left but I grew up there and lived there for 30+ years and I’m glad I left

The Spano Mafia. Fat old wanna be mob boss Italians who pay money to Nick Spano to make sure they can control who’s at the top of the police department. Misused tax payer funds. Cops live above the law in yonkers. They abuse their wives and since cops always arrive first on scene especially when it’s another cop they end up covering the controlling the narrative. We need to get peoples eyes open and vote to limit terms to get dirty boy Mike Spano out of there. Clean it out from the inside out. I really hope the FBI cleans up house and forces the Spanos to pay reparations to the residents.

Let’s not forget that the cops may actually refuse to take a report of real crime, depending on who you are and where you live. That certainly skews the statistics.
