Officials could not say whether an arrest was made. No one was hit.<\/p>\n<p>Cops watched the school for a week afterward, Wright said.<\/p>\n<p>Mule told teachers not to mention the gunfire during parent conferences that same night, staffers told The Post. And she never sent a letter notifying parents about the incident, while another school in the neighborhood did inform them, they said.<\/p>\n<p>Wright said he and other student leaders printed a letter for their shaken classmates, saying: \u201cWe are offering full support to any student who may have felt scared, shocked, or confused by last week\u2019s incident.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But after they began handing out the letter in classrooms, Wright was called to the office by an assistant principal who told him to stop or he would be booted as student body president, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The school itself did not offer any counseling, he said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15971275\"><img alt=\"Anna Maria Mule\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"588\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Principal Anna Maria Mule<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe school administration ultimately did nothing to resolve the incident, choosing instead to sweep it under the rug,\u201d Wright told the SCI.<\/p>\n<p>He added in an interview, \u201cNo student should have to fear going to school, or experience a cover-up like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wright, now in college, said he did not go to authorities earlier because he feared retaliation by Mule.<\/p>\n<p>Wright also said Mule\u2019s handling of the episode shows flaws in Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s recently announced plan to let principals, instead of the NYPD, run school safety.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTransferring control to principals will lead to more cover-ups,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mule is the subject of another SCI complaint by teachers who say she engaged in grade-fixing to boost the graduation rate of the school, which is located between a neighborhood with public housing and a wealthy, low-crime area of Cobble Hill at Baltic and Smith streets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe grade-fixing and the gunshot cover-up are part of the same <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> to sell a false image of the school to parents, students and the city,\u201d a staffer said.<\/p>\n<p>On June 26, Cobble Hill ousted six of its 34 teachers in what staffers called retaliation by Mule over leaked audiotape of a meeting \u2014 published in The Post \u2014 in which administrators said too many students were failing remote classes and should be passed \u201cjust for trying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mule called Wright\u2019s allegations \u201cabsolutely not true,\u201d in an email to The Post but said she could not speak without the DOE\u2019s approval.
