ICYMI: Teacher Took Electronics Worth $10K From Upper West Side School: Report

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — A former teacher at PS 9 on the Upper West Side will have to dish out thousands in fines after brining school electronics with her to a new teaching job in the suburbs, according to a report.

Alison Kan — who taught at the West 84th Street elementary school for three years — took donated electronics worth about $10,000 with her to her new job in Chappaqua without permission from school administrators, the New York Post reported.

Editor's note: In case you missed it, here's one of the Upper West Side's best stories from last week.

Her punishment: A $6,000 fine, according to a settlement with the city Conflicts of Interest Board.

The teacher's penalty could have been more severe if she hadn't returned the electronics to PS 9 after school administrator's lodged a complaint, the Post reported.

Kan switched jobs from PS 9 to the Westorchard Elementary School in Chappaqua for the 2016-2017 school year, the Post reported. After leaving PS 9 she took materials donated through the website DonorsChoose.org — including six iPads, five MacBooks, 10 iPods and "educational robots" — with her to the school in the Westchester County suburb, the Post reported.
