YONKERS: Administrators in the Yonkers Public Schools (YPS) Board of Education offices are privately saying they think that Yonkers Federation of Teachers #YFT President Samantha Rosado-Ciriello might encouraging #Yonkers teachers to go into quarantine when they have had zero contact with a student or school staff member that tests positive for the COVID-19 virus.

Moreover, they say school principals and others keep reporting that #YPS teachers are irresponsibly having their lunches together in classroom together and causing schools to be shut down and children to fall further behind during this pandemic.

When a person reports a positive test in a school, administrators say they believe that #SamanthaRosadoCiriello and those around her are encouraging all teachers to go into quarantine even if they were not exposed at the school.

Some the Yonkers Council of PTA/PTSAs leaders claim that these potentially illegal job actions are causing students to fall further behind and suffer more during this pandemic.

They also claim that these “abusive and illegal” YFT job actions are hurting homeowners in The City of Yonkers, who are struggling to keep their homes during these challenging times.

When called the #YonkersFederationOfTeachers offices were called for a comment Karen, who did not want to give her last name, said YFT president Samantha Rosado-Ciriello and all of her representatives were in a meeting and unavailable for comment.
