A newly released special commissioner's report claims that employees of the New York City school system took their own children and grandchildren on grant-funded trips that were intended to help disadvantaged children living in shelters and temporary housing.
It is alleged that a regional manager spent some of the resources on trips for herself and her children and grandchildren, and encouraged her subordinates to do the same, cautioning them to keep quiet about the scheme.
The trips allegedly took place between 2016 and 2019. The investigation was completed in 2023 but wasn't released until September 2024 due to pending administrative actions, according to the special commissioner’s office.
It appears that all employees involved have either retired or otherwise left their employment with the school system. No pending criminal charges or civil actions have been announced.
