This made me laugh, how does a city government hire SME one who appears to have never been legally allowed to work in the USA. Also had a past crimes as well.

NYS has likely done the same in all of its colleges and universities and teaching hospitals.................many may be in the NYS legislature, too.

China controls, in Hochuls office, were likely established long ago to facilitate Chinese illegal aliens employment, and the Tong.

Funny it does not mention he considered himself as a citizen of Guyana, was at the Olympics representing Guyana, had multiple longstanding deportation orders, fled and resisted arrest, had multiple weapon charges, did not have any work permits or legal standing to be in the country, etc

Dude was being paid $305k per year.

That's the bigger crime in my opinion. School superintendents are vastly overpaid and practically useless.

Well it's for the Schools, you know, diversification and all that other shit....encountering LOTS of People that work for Government entities (Airports are a prime example) you'd think the only prerequisite was the ability to print your name. (help from your parents is acceptable)

We should get it all refunded because he was never legally allowed to work here.

Administrators are ALL highly overpaid...managing a School District should NOT pay as much as the Governor of the State or a Congressman makes.

Yes, it is criminal what people involved in the "higher education" bullshit get paid, while the hard-working people whose money is stolen rarely even earn a third of that.
And for all of the money being doled out, our education system is a complete clusterfuck.

Funny it does not mention he considered himself as a citizen of Guyana, was at the Olympics representing Guyana, had multiple longstanding deportation orders, fled and resisted arrest, had multiple weapon charges, did not have any work permits or legal standing to be in the country, etc

And yet, SOMEONE made the decision to hire this person.
Why isn't that person also in cuffs?

Oh, good. So we know WHO did it.

Now what? How much more money is SHE making while she breaks the law?

Why should I remain law-abiding when it is apparently acceptable, and PROFITABLE, to not be?

A DEI hire for sure. No background checks either. Not surprised.

 

[OwnTheRide]

No background checks either.

Article I read earlier stated he had undergone multiple background checks, including one through the FBI.

The district said Roberts had been identified as a candidate for the job by a search firm and that a “comprehensive background check” was completed as part of the process. The state board that granted Roberts a license to serve as superintendent said that process included background checks by the state police and FBI.

Obviously untrue. Yet I had a thorough scoping of my ass and a copy of the report provided to me for simply volunteering to coach kids in my town.
