The Dept. of Education said Tuesday it will fire notorious “School of No” Principal Marcella Sills, quickly responding to a probe that found she blatantly lied about her attendance at Far Rockaway’s PS 106 — all the while collecting a full paycheck for the no-show work....
The swift DOE action came as Special Commissioner of Investigation Richard Condon issued a 13-page report recommending Sills get the ax and that she and an assistant principal who has since resigned, never be allowed to work for the Education Dept. again.
Condon’s investigation was spurred by The Post’s exclusive Jan. 12 report that revealed the fur-coat wearing, BMW-driving school boss was always hours late, often played hooky, and blew taxpayer dough to redecorate her office and order catered meals....

I believe you have very clearly stated what is happening and what will happen.
Rescind her award? Not that I know of (snix).
I have long thought that they should bring back the old stocks for people convicted of certain crimes. I’m sure some lawyer would conclude it was “cruel & unusual punishment”,but I think this public humililiation is just what is called for in certain instances. Should make others think twice before committing something similar & isn’t that what we want?
