KIPP Hired Sexual Abuser Fired by NYC Schools

From the NYPost:
. . . .Wayne Bartley, 46, a former science teacher at KIPP AMP Academy Middle School, held his illicit trysts with the 13-year-old girl, at the Paradise Motor Inn, a hot sheet motel in the Bronx, from March 2008 to May 2009, according to the Special Schools Investigator Richard Condon.

Bartley, who met his victim when he taught at IS 229 in the Bronx, also preyed on two other girls, investigators found.

He convinced another 13-year-old he met when he taught at IS 392 in Brooklyn to send nude photos of herself to his cell phone. He also gave cash to a third teen, one his KIPP AMP students in Brooklyn, and massaged her feet after paying for her pedicure.

The schools investigators turned over their findings to the Bronx and Brooklyn district attorneys
