Buffalo Schools Face Harassment Lawsuit | Buffalo News

A shocking sexual harassment claim has erupted in Buffalo’s school district, with a notice of claim filed against former superintendent Pascal Mubenga, current board member Muki Hawkins, and the district itself — all accused of targeting Antoinette Amos, the Chief Equity and Governance Officer. Allegations include forcible kissing and inappropriate touching by Mubenga dating back to late 2025, and harassment by Hawkins between February and June 2026. Mubenga resigned abruptly after just 11 months, with no severance — taxpayers won’t pay. Amos, now speaking out, urges women to defend their dignity, while attorneys call the conduct “disgusting” and vow to file suit after the 90-day district response window. Board members are outraged — Larry Scott demands an independent probe and possibly state intervention, while Erik Bohen says he never suspected Mubenga’s behavior. The district remains silent, citing pending litigation, but the next step is Amos being questioned under oath — a critical moment for accountability.
