Board Under Fire as New Nominee Set to Take Oath | Buffalo News

Buffalo’s school board is in chaos as they move forward with filling a vacant seat amid explosive sexual harassment allegations against a sitting board member and the former superintendent. Despite pressure from the state education commissioner and the mayor to pause, the board voted to nominate Roscoe Henderson — set to be sworn in Wednesday — even as one member abstained citing the commissioner’s concerns. Board president insists they must keep moving, though transparency is in question and members are caught in conflicting advice. Muki Hawkins, named in the allegations, participated in interviews, stayed silent, and refuses to resign — legally protected until proven guilty. The board’s next steps are anything but clear.
