NYC Dept of Ed Manager Accused of Using Funds for Homeless Children on Disney World Trip
“took her two daughters on city-funded excursions while encouraging her colleagues to do the same with their families”
This is major dirtbag behavior. Watch the liberal media ignore the story.
FOX News reports:
NYC Department of Ed manager brought family to Disney World with funds meant for homeless children
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 (SCI) 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., New Orleans, Boston, Rocking Horse Ranch Resort in upstate New York and Frost Valley YMCA campground between 2016 and 2019.
Linda Wilson, the regional manager for the NYC Department of Education’s Queens Students in Temporary Housing, took her two daughters on city-funded excursions while encouraging her colleagues to do the same with their families, according to the SCI report released this month.
While some students were brought on these trips, investigators alleged that spots were taken up by the employees’ family members. DOE rules state that employees cannot bring family on trips even if the DOE is reimbursed.
Wilson allegedly skirted the rules by “forging permission slips in the names of students,” the report said.
Wilson scheduled some of these trips under the belief that students would be visiting colleges, according to the report. Instead of visiting the schools, the investigation found that Wilson would take trips to other destinations.

“What happens here stays with us,” Queens manager Linda M. Wilson told her team, warning them not to tell anyone that the staff’s kids and grandkids attended out-of-town trips.
yo power to the people!!!!
I am going to start with “why were they paying for homeless kids to go in the first place?” Rather than focusing on the 10% skim, how about eliminating the other 90% as well.
It’s not particularly clear from this article or the one on Fox, but it seems like the DOE was paying for poor kids to go on college visits. This lady was signing up to go along as some type of chaperone, then taking her own kids, ducking out on the chaperone part, and going to local tourist attractions. They weren’t sending kids to Disney from what I can see.
No wonder they can’t pay for all the illegals. You hit the main point of the story. Why are NYC taxpayers paying for trips to anywhere especially Disney? Maybe day trips outside of the city limits but Florida?
“between 2016 and 2019”
Ah, 2019 — the year Epstein Island closed.
Pure coincidence.
Of course the “media” will ignore the story. Wilson is a Person of Preferred Pigmentation.
Looks like the Usual Suspects. Forget Taminy Hall. Mayor Adam’s is running Nepopicaninny Hall!
