Students, Parents Have Had Enough Of Interim Principal At Queens High School

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Students and parents at a Queens high school have had enough of their interim principal, and are concerned that she could wind up with a full-time gig.

"Wow, I can't believe how she just spoke to that teacher," PTA President Susan Karlic said, describing the behavior of interim-principal Rosemarie Jahoda.

Karlic's daughter is a student at Townsend High School in Flushing, where students have serious concerns about Jahoda's behavior, 1010 WINS' Andrew Falzon reported.

"Ms. Jahoda's attitude towards the faculty was demeaning and intimidating," senior Alex Chen said.

Student journalists with the school newspaper recently obtained and published a clip of Jahoda refusing to mix with students in the hall.

Franco Scardino is a social teachers at the school and represents the teachers union.

"When she was asked, she flatly denied ever saying, she said 'let me tell you something, that's not how I speak," Scardino said.
