“School of No” Principal Marcella Sills finally dragged herself into class on time Monday — sauntering through the doors at 7:30 a.m. in a bid to look good for investigators probing her failing and dilapidated PS 106. “She hasn’t shown up that early in six or seven years,” a source said of the fur-clad boss of the Far Rockaway, Queens, school. Sills appeared to be scrambling like a failing student at finals time to put on a show for the city Department of Education probers who showed up following a series of Post exposés. PS 106 earned its “School of No” moniker because, numerous school sources say, it has no gym, no art classes, kindergarten trailers that smell like animal urine and no reading, writing or math books for the rigorous Common Core curriculum. Despite the squalor, Sills still forces parents — many of whom live below the poverty line — to cough up more than $200 to attend a bizarre, end-of-year prom in which fifth-graders must dress up like brides and grooms. Also, sources say Sills frequently fails to attend work. But on Monday, outraged insiders said she got to school early and staged a rare art class for visitors — and even managed to buy books at the last minute. It’s not clear how well the principal’s last-minute whitewashing worked — but hours after the inspection the DOE’s new head issued a statement saying her office would be keeping a close eye on the school. “There is significant room for organizational improvement,” Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña said. “But [Deputy Chancellor Dorita Gibson reported] that classrooms are orderly, teachers are dedicated, and students are learning. Going forward, I will have field staff at the school weekly to make sure those organizational changes occur.” A school source said that during the visit, Sills looked “happy, like she doesn’t think there are any problems.” After the school day ended, she left the building with her lawyer. Dressed in a fur coat, sunglasses, a revealing short skirt and funky fur boots she looked as if she were headed to a nightclub as she climbed into her shiny red BMW X3 — which goes for a base price of $40,000 — and drove off.
What the……
This isn’t real is it? A Principal who drives a $40,000 car, comes to school when she feels like it, dresses like a lady of the night, and makes parents give five of their paychecks to her so they can dress up like they’re getting married for a 5th grad dance? You just can’t make this stuff up. She thought she could pull the whole “I’ll come to school and teach an art class on the day you’re being supervised” move. Sorry Marcella Sills, but you kind of make it obvious that you’re the most corrupt principal in the history of the world by showing up looking like Vladimir Putin. I really thought you were Lil Kim when I first saw the story. I had no idea you were actually a real life principal until I read the article. Maybe get dressed a little – differently? Just for a day or two. Might help make it a little less obvious that you’re the worst principal in the history of the world. I mean, your school is already on the ropes because it’s got the worst test scores in the world and you’re usually not there. You should probably at least try to show them that this isn’t 100% your fault. Not this lady though. She comes to school when she damn well feels like it. Complete power move right there.
