Mubenga Resigns Amid District Turmoil | Buffalo News

Buffalo Public Schools superintendent Dr. Pascal Mubenga has resigned just 11 months into his term—before his four-year contract even began—sparking shock and concern among parents and educators. His abrupt exit follows a month after the board learned of sexual harassment allegations against one of its own, with an investigation underway. This isn’t Mubenga’s first rodeo—he stepped down from Durham Public Schools just a year prior. Hired in July 2025 with a $285K salary and glowing praise for his educational vision, his departure now leaves Dr. Ebony Prophet-Bullock, the former chief accountability officer, as interim superintendent effective July 14, 2026. The board has declined to comment further, while many parents worry the instability will derail critical student progress. Whether Mubenga gets any remaining contract pay remains unclear.
