There is significant coverage in the http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/28/nyregion/from-office-to-hallway-shadowing-a-principal.html?_r=0 New York Times. There is incidental coverage at http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-12-20/news/30540157_1_stephen-tsai-arnie-rosenbaum-francis-lewis. There is coverage at http://www.tc.columbia.edu/cahnfellows/index.asp?Id=Our%20Fellows&Info=2012 Columbia University for being selected to the Cahn Fellows Program at Teacher's College, Columbia. That is an award, and being from Columbia, looks prestigious. There is some coverage http://insideschools.org/high/browse/school/1099 here (it is not clear if the source is an RS, but it is clearly not a blog or promotional in nature; has editorial oversight). There is a passing mention in http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/20/education/20oneducation.html NY Times. and a bit http://www.qchron.com/editions/north/no-quick-answers-for-overcrowding/article_04ac0703-7d5b-5390-94ee-e9fa1cfe32d5.html here. The coverage is largely about his being a school principal. The NY Times and Columbia coverage are both significant. The rest can't be called trivial since the context is the school of which he is the principal. Coverage is sufficient to meet  (non-trivial in multiple reliable, third-party, independent sources
