Principal who 'fixed' failing grades moves to LI school

The New York Post reports:

The cont​r​over​sial principal of Automotive HS is zooming off to Long Island.

Caterina Lafergola is dumping the long-suffering Brooklyn school — which Mayor de Blasio promised to fix ​with his $400 million “Renewal” program — to become principal of Baldwin HS on July 1, The Post has learned.

Last year, de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña kept Lafergola in the driver’s seat at Automotive — while replacing principals at other failing schools — despite four prior years of plunging enrollment, rock-bottom Regents scores and dismal graduation rates with her at the helm.

“​Her departure marks the failure of her leadership and the downward spiral of Automotive,” said a veteran educator​ familiar with the school​. “The Baldwin ​co​mmunity has no idea what they’re in for.”
