Six New York City Department of Education employees are accused of taking spots away from homeless students on city-funded trips by bringing their own families.
A New York City Department of Education manager and five other employees brought their own family to Disney World and on other excursions with city funds meant for homeless students, according to a report. The New York Post first reported that the Special Commissioner of Investigation for New York City schools alleges the workers’ actions robbed disadvantaged children of the opportunity to go to the Magic Kingdom and on other trips to Washington, D.C.
Instead of visiting the schools, the investigation found that Wilson would take trips to other destinations. On one such trip in June 2018, Wilson allegedly went with students to visit Syracuse University. But the university said that Wilson never toured the school. The subsequent investigation alleged that Wilson instead took a detour to Niagara Falls.
