Disney trips meant for homeless NYC students went to school employees' families
Briefly

A report revealed that NYC school employees misused funding meant for homeless students, taking their families on trips to Disney and other destinations meant for enrichment.
Linda Wilson, responsible for aiding students in shelter, took her children on funded trips and even forged permission slips, promoting similar actions among her staff.
The investigation, initiated after a whistleblower complaint, found that six employees benefitted from grants meant for homeless students, leading to recommendations for their termination.
The report suggests that the Department of Education should seek reimbursement for the funds misappropriated by the staff, highlighting serious oversight failures.
