When you imagine the ideal classroom, you probably see sun streams through large windows, lighting up the kids sitting at tables, busy illustrating story books that they created. The classroom hums, and a teacher moves from one raised hand to the next. But though you know the class you want for your child, quality is subjective, even in an era of school accountability.

There have been three child and teen suicides due to bullying since September of this year. Fifteen-year-old Felicia Garcia threw herself off of a train platform in Staten Island. Fifteen-year-old Amanda Todd made a video that silently told her story as she held up index cards, one by one, describing her desperation before she took her life. Ten-year-old Jasmine McClain hanged herself after being teased about her clothes and her shoes. All three girls described relentless bullying by students to friends and family. Amanda changed schools. Felicia ignored them and at times, stood up for herself. Jasmine left school for a period of time, returning only one month ago.

North Tonawanda Superintendent Has No Comment On Teacher Convicted Of DWI
Superintendent 'mum' when asked about NTHS teacher Arthur J. Harack
North Tonawanda, NY - At a Public Session of the Regular Meeting of the Board of Education of the City of North Tonawanda School District held Thursday evening, School Superintendent Greg Woytila stated he was playing 'phone-tag' with an (unnamed) New York State Education Department investigator when asked if NYSED had completed its investigation [of Harack]. Woytila however had "no comment" when asked, Do you believe Mr. Harack's continued employment by the District is in the best interests of students, as well as the District?
Superintendent Woytila confirmed at last month's Board of Education meeting that a Moral Character complaint had been filed against Harack with NYSED. Harack was arrested on August 23, 2011, with a child in his vehicle and a blood alcohol content at 0.13%. He was charged under Leandra's Law on January 14, 2012. In August of 2012, Harack was allowed to plead guilty to misdemeanor driving while intoxicated before Niagara County Supreme Court Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas.
Under New York State Education law, School District Superintendents must file a report with the Department upon knowledge that a certificate holder has been convicted of a crime or has committed an act that raises a reasonable question about the individual's moral character. Complaints received by the Department will be reviewed pursuant to Part 83 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education to determine the appropriate action.
Harack was also arrested in June 2008 for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The disposition of that case is not known.

North Tonawanda Teacher Convicted of DWI Reported to NYSED
Moral Character Complaint Filed Against North Tonawanda Teacher Convicted of Misdemeanor Driving While Intoxicated.
North Tonawanda, NY - A North Tonawanda teacher was reported to New York State Office of Teaching Initiatives.
Superintendent of North Tonawanda City School District, Gregory Woytila, confirmed at a Public Session of the Regular Meeting of the Board of Education of the City of North Tonawanda School District held on Thursday, September 13, 2012, that a Moral Character Complaint was filed with New York State Education Department Office of Teaching Initiatives in the matter of North Tonawanda teacher Arthur J. Harack who was convicted and sentenced on August 25, 2012, in Niagara County Court before the Honorable Sara Sheldon Farkas for misdemeanor driving while intoxicated.
Under New York State Education law, School District Superintendents must file a report with the Department upon knowledge that a certificate holder has been convicted of a crime or has committed an act that raises a reasonable question about the individual's moral character. Complaints received by the Department will be reviewed pursuant to Part 83 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education to determine the appropriate action.
Last month, the Buffalo News reported:
He was arrested Aug. 23, 2011, with a child in his vehicle.
Police measured his blood alcohol content at 0.13 percent. Harack was allowed to plead guilty to misdemeanor driving while intoxicated.
Farkas ordered him to sell his car or at least take it off the road, since he is barred from driving while on probation.
He also must not drink, but he has been, at least at weddings and social events. "Unfortunate circumstances happen that I have no control over," Harack said.
Farkas said, "I find that appalling. I find that outrageous ... I don't think you understand how serious this is."
Mr. Harack also had a previous arrest in June 2008 for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
As of this writing, Mr. Harack is still gainfully employed by the City of North Tonawanda School District.

Blog Author's Note: I would point out that the reporting of bullying (or any related violation of the Dignity for All Students Act (DASA)) through a school district web-site should be done with caution, if at all. If, however, a parent or student thinks it necessary to report through a district web-site, make sure copies of all on-line submissions are kept for verification/proof in reporting incidents of bullying (or violations of DASA).

[Update] North Tonawanda teacher sentenced in DWI had prior charge
City of North Tonawanda School District, North Tonawanda High School Teacher, Arthur J. Harack, was charged in June 2008 for resisting arrest and disorderly conduct according to a June 2008 Tonawanda News Police Report. At that time, Harack was being held in lieu of $250.00 bail.
Harack escaped prosecution under Leandra's Law.
According to a 2011 Tonawanda News Police Blotter, "On August 23, 2011, Arthur J. Harack, 61, 1258 E. Robinson Road, was charged for aggravated driving while intoxicated, driving while intoxicated and endangering the welfare of a child. He is being held for court in lieu of $750 bail."
Further according to a Buffalo News article of January 14, 2012, Harack
was arraigned in Niagara County Court ... on charges of violating Leandra’s Law by allegedly driving drunk with a child in his auto.
The Law
"Pursuant to New York Vehicle Traffic Law Section 1192-2a, any person caught operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and transporting a child shall be charged with a Class E Felony. In the event that reckless driving and death or serious physical injury is not a factor, an individual will automatically be charged with a class D felony. Defendants convicted under the new law face a prison sentence of up to four years and a fine of $1000–$5000. The installation of a mandatory ignition interlock device for a term of at least six months is also an expected provision of sentencing (mandatory for all DWI offenses August 15, 2010). Moreover, licenses are automatically suspended pending prosecution and once proven guilty, the person will be reported to the Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment and his/her license will be suspended for a minimum of twelve months. First time and repeat offenders are charged with an E level felony, regardless of criminal record."
Nevertheless, according to the Buffalo News, Harack was allowed to plead guilty to misdemeanor driving while intoxicated. At the time of his arrest, his BAC (blood alcohol content) was 0.13 percent and Harack had a child in his vehicle.

"As long as teachers and administrators follow the protocol, they should be fine," she said. "If they fail to properly report a case of cyberbullying, they could face liability. But in the same way they could be liable for any other misstep, so this is really not unique.""

"This language clearly indicates that 'every individual' - including every school age child - has a right to adequate education and that the SDHR has the authority, on behalf of 'every individual,' to prevent discrimination in 'educational institutions,'" Ciparick wrote. "The majority's limitation of the SDHR's jurisdiction to only private schools does little to promote the broad purpose of the Human Rights Law, which is to provide a bias free education for every individual."
