State lawmakers are secretly eyeing a compromise that would allow Mayor Bloomberg to fire thousands of “nonteaching teachers” without consideration of the “last in, first out” law, The Post has learned.
The plan, being discussed at the highest levels of the Legislature and with aides to Bloomberg, would grant the mayor the right to fire between 2,000 to 4,000 nonclassroom teachers — including all those who formerly languished in the notorious “rubber room” under disciplinary charges.
The plan would also target members of the “absent teacher reserve pool” — which includes nonworking but on-the-payroll teachers from schools that have been shut down because of poor performance — and teachers assigned only to “administrative functions,” sources said.
