Mayor Eric Adams’ longtime girlfriend has quietly retired from her high-ranking six-figure position in the Big Apple’s education department amid a city probe into the unofficial first lady’s alleged “no-show job.”
Tracey Collins, who had been working as a senior adviser to Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos, served her last day on Nov. 1, with her retirement effective as of Monday, city Department of Education spokesperson Nathaniel Styer confirmed.
Styer did not specify why Collins left her plum position, for which her salary was recently raised from $221,597 to $252,977, according to city data.
“Ms. Collins served public school students for over 30 years as a teacher, principal and administrator, and we wish her the best in her retirement,” he said.
