The commissioner, Richard J. Condon, included the criticism in a report describing a web of deception by the principal, Lee D. McCaskill, and his wife, a teacher at another Brooklyn school, to hide the fact that they lived in New Jersey. When faced with an investigation, Mr. Condon said, they gave contradictory testimony and submitted fake leases and other misleading documents to create the impression that they lived at the Brooklyn address. Mr. Condon said it was not prudent for education officials to enter into a settlement with Lee McCaskill before it could consider our findings. He said that since the Education Department did not wait for the investigation's results, we can only note that McCaskill should be placed on the ineligible list and barred from future employment in the city schools.
