Eugene St, Staten island, NY

My experience at this school was extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional due to the conduct of the principal. I was treated with hostility and suspicion while simply doing my job as a paraprofessional assigned to the building. I was questioned aggressively about who I was, why I was there, and who employed me, despite being authorized to be on campus.The principal took photos of me without my consent, accused me of sleeping when I was not, and spoke to me in a demeaning and confrontational manner. I explained that I was experiencing a severe headache and was waiting for work assignments, yet this explanation was dismissed.What made the situation especially troubling was the tone and nature of the interaction. I was made to feel targeted, unwelcome, and disrespected in a way that did not appear to be applied equally to others. The lack of professionalism, respect, and basic courtesy was unacceptable and deeply concerning.School leadership should foster a respectful and inclusive environment for all staff and contracted employees. Unfortunately, this experience did the opposite and left me feeling singled out and mistreated
