Description: A teacher who started work at a New York City charter school after she was terminated from her position at a public school has been fired after Chalkboard inquired about her previous employment.  The former teacher’s ability to start working at a charter school after a report was sent to the New York City Public Schools District from its Special Commissioner of Investigation points to what appears to be an information gap between charter and public schools in the city. Atmosphere Academy, a public charter school in the Bronx, confirmed to Chalkboard that Raylissa Rivera “no longer works” for the school after Chalkboard asked about an investigation conducted last year into inappropriate texts she sent a student.
