Teachers at the Bronx public school whose principal removed their desks and cabinets are getting their furniture back.

“All desks have been returned to the school and are going back into classrooms,” said Department of Education spokesman Jason Fink.

Last week, Donna Connelly, principal of PS 24, the Spuyten Duyvil School in Riverdale, ordered teachers to empty their desks and filing cabinets, then sent the furniture to the curb — to prevent teachers from sitting in class.

But after a Post report on the disturbing edict, Connelly sent out a staff-wide e-mail on Monday afternoon, saying, “Please be advised that I will be returning desks to all classrooms.”
