Bullet points of NYC Department of Ed manager brought family to Disney World with funds meant for homeless children

- Linda Wilson, a regional manager for the NYC Department of Education's Queens Students in Temporary Housing, took her two daughters on city-funded excursions

- Five other employees, including Program Manager Shaquieta Boyd, Family Assistant Joanne Castro, Family Assistant Mishawn Jack, Family Assistant Virgen Ramos, and Community Coordinator Maria Sylvester, also brought their own family members on the trips

- The employees allegedly forged permission slips in the names of students

- The investigation found that the employees' actions robbed disadvantaged children of the opportunity to go on these trips

The bigger issue is why is the Dept of Ed funding lavish trips anywhere??? This is a waste of taxpayer dollars. An educational trip to the zoo, aquarium, museum or national monument would be more appropriate. Not a trip to Disney!
