The superintendent of Staten Island public schools was abruptly removed from her post amid ongoing accusations of lashing out against staff and vowing “No more white principals,” The Post has learned.
Marion Wilson, who led District 31 schools for three and a half years, was swept out of her office on Sept. 20, and told to report to the Department of Education’s Tweed headquarters in Manhattan.
Wilson “will be transitioning to a central team,” Danika Rux, deputy chancellor for school leadership, said Monday in an internal announcement, without any explanation for the swift and stunning ouster.
Sources said she will keep her $230,000 salary and serve as “facilitator” in the Leaders in Education Apprenticeship Program (LEAP), which prepares teachers to become principals with a focus on racial equity.
DOE officials refused to explain Wilson’s removal, but a school insider said she was caught on tape denouncing district employees.
