Buffalo School Board Moves Forward Amid Allegations | Buffalo News

Buffalo’s school board defied state education officials by appointing Roscoe Henderson to a vacant seat — despite a direct request from Commissioner Dr. Betty Rosa to delay, prompted by serious sexual harassment allegations involving the former superintendent and a current board member. The mayor condemned the move, calling it damaging to public trust, while some board members abstained to honor the commissioner’s ask.
