Faculty members at High School for Law and Public Service are accusing principal Paula Lev of conspiring to get a white colleague fired in the complaint obtained by the Post.
The faculty also voted they had “no confidence” in her leadership.
The complaint says Lev “flagrantly but unsuccessfully attempted to divide our school by race,” and she told a faculty member in Spanish that she “was going to get rid of all these white teachers that aren’t doing anything for the kids of our community.”
“She definitely has something against white people,” it adds.
A faculty member writes in the complaint that Lev, 39, came to him with a plan to fire an unidentified white, female employee.
He says Lev asked him to get a state education certification so he’d be more qualified than the white employee and she could then fire her as “excess” staff.

“I believe Ms. Lev is not suited for the position of principal because of the comments she has made to me about white people and the malicious ways in which she thinks and speaks,” the faculty member wrote in the complaint.
“She is not fit to be a leader of a school. As a school staff, we have lost confidence, creditability, trust, and most importantly we have lost hope in Ms. Lev as a principal at the High School for Law & Public Service.”
It’s unknown if Lev knew of the complaint but on the last day of school she laid off the faculty member who filed it.
“He blew the whistle on her and a week later he was (let go),” a source told the New York Post.
