According to a lawsuit, it states that the New Mexico’s attorney general is accusing a company that recruits immigrant teachers from the Philippines to work at public schools of charging excessive fees and using deceptive financial tactics.
the lawsuit was filed with a state district court in Albuquerque against Total Teaching Solutions International and CEO Janice Bickert of Ruidoso, alleging exorbitant fees to place Filipino teachers in schools on work visas.
The suit accuses the company and Bickert of violations under the state unfair practices act. It seeks a permanent restraining order against the company, financial restitution to immigrant teachers, fines of $5,000 per violation and damages. Bickert and company officials could not be reached immediately for comment.
Attorney General Hector Balderas said in a statement that the lawsuit is necessary amid a teacher shortage to stop predatory business practices against immigrants.
The suit says the company subjected immigrant teachers to fees of usd15,000 for placement services on average when other companies provided identical services for about USD 4,000.
