‘Hamilton’ tickets donated to Boston Public School students went to admins’ sons
A nonprofit donated tickets for Boston students to attend the hit musical “Hamilton.” Some of the tickets went to school administrators' children.
Two Boston Public School administrators, Natasha Halfkenny and Coreen Miranda, used donated "Hamilton" tickets intended for students to take their sons, who were not Boston Public School students.
Both administrators paid $4,000 civil penalties for violating the state's conflict of interest law by denying three students the opportunity to attend the show.
Coreen Miranda and her sons had already attended and enjoyed the same "Hamilton" performance a month prior to taking the tickets again for the March 1, 2023 show.
They had already seen the show a month prior? It was a shitty thing to do regardless, but it just seems so spiteful to prevent someone from seeing the show for the first time just so your kid can see it twice back to back.
Miranda’s two sons and Halfkenny’s son, neither of whom were Boston Public School students
This alone is kinda messed up. It's easier to functionally steal from other students when your kids don't even go to that school system.
Are these the same kids that got the trips to Disney that were for homeless kids?
I believe that was in New York, although I might be wrong about that.
Shitheads. Corrupt, asshole shitheads.
We need more of this accountability. I can think of a few billionaires who could use a fine. (All of them)
I think the appropriate accountability here would be to for those administrators to have to enroll their children in public school. If they think that's a problem it's up to them to make the schools better. The administrators obviously think public school students don't need extra access to culture or expensive things, they're doing just fine.
And these public school administrators are making 140,000k a year???
Picahcu meme here...
They already went??? What shitty people. I hope the kids that were supposed to go get something other than "the people that stole that experience from you got a fine."
A civil penalty seems like not enough? Wtf
Coreen Miranda
Mildly interesting coincidence that this administrator shares a last name with the man who wrote and starred in the musical.
I'm surprised that anyone is surprised. School admin is ridiculously, absurdly corrupt. Nationwide.
That’s a tiny fine. That should be fireable.
