\n Barnaby Spring, the city Department of Education\u2019s yoga czar and self-styled \u201cdirector of mindfulness,\u201d was removed as a Brooklyn principal after the staff gave him a resounding vote of no-confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were all united against him,\u201d a former staffer told The Post. \u201cWe used to describe it like being in the trenches. We were at war against him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the faculty revolt at EBC High School for Public Service in Bushwick, the city Department of Education moved Spring to a Brooklyn field office. Years later, he met Cheryl Watson-Harris, who became Chancellor Richard Carranza\u2019s top deputy in 2018. A month after her promotion, she assigned Spring to his role \u201cleading mindfulness work,\u201d the DOE said. He made $195,000 last year.<\/p>\n

While Spring has repeatedly called himself the DOE\u2019s \u201cdirector of mindfulness\u201d in speeches and interviews with yoga media<\/a>, it was not an official title, officials said.<\/p>\n

Spring formed a partnership with the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in the Berkshires, where he arranged to send 30 DOE executives on retreats. He also helped administer a $111,000 grant from Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, a yoga practitioner, to train Brooklyn educators in yoga and mindfulness.<\/p>\n

In 2011, his faculty at the Bushwick high school drafted a letter to DOE officials denouncing his leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past three years, Mr. Spring has devalued and disrespected experienced and successful teachers and staff, ignored EBC student\u2019s academic needs, impaired learning, and isolated many parents and students,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

The staff cited Spring\u2019s 2010 policy to have parents sign a letter to allow the school to send students who misbehave or loiter in the halls home.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the guidance team\u2019s concern that it could be dangerous for students to be out in the street unsupervised during school hours, that there was no tracking system in place to monitor the frequency of these dismissals, and other interventions that were suggested, this discipline measure was put in place,\u201d the letter said.<\/p>\n

The 2011 salutatorian, Marco Salazar, wrote in a student publication:\u00a0\u201cMy school struggled to afford textbooks, and often two or more students would be left to share one between us. Our classrooms were overcrowded to the point where some of us had to stand, or sit on desks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reached last week, Salazar recalled the school as \u201cunderstaffed.\u201d It offered no advanced classes in trigonometry, physics, and calculus, so he taught himself, Salazar said. A teacher paid for his Advanced Placement exams.<\/p>\n

Spring \u201cwas putting blame on the teachers. None of the teachers liked him,\u201d said Salazar, now a software engineer in Manhattan.<\/p>\n

The DOE said EBC was a struggling school \u201cin turnaround,\u201d and the vote of no-confidence contributed to the decision to remove Spring in\u00a0 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was an understanding between the superintendent, Mr. Spring, and the school community that a leadership change was needed,\u201d officials said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
