The superintendent of Staten Island public schools was abruptly removed from her post amid ongoing accusations of lashing out against staff and vowing “No more white principals,” The Post has learned.
Marion Wilson, who led District 31 schools for three and a half years, was swept out of her office on Sept. 20, and told to report to the Department of Education’s Tweed headquarters in Manhattan.
Wilson “will be transitioning to a central team,” Danika Rux, deputy chancellor for school leadership, said Monday in an internal announcement, without any explanation for the swift and stunning ouster.
Sources said she will keep her $230,000 salary and serve as “facilitator” in the Leaders in Education Apprenticeship Program (LEAP), which prepares teachers to become principals with a focus on racial equity.
DOE officials refused to explain Wilson’s removal, but a school insider said she was caught on tape denouncing district employees.
“She apparently went off on a Zoom or Teams call demeaning her own principals and staffers, and didn’t know she was unmuted,” the insider said.
Wilson is also dogged by accusations she has made racially offensive comments.
Last year, the Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools was asked to investigate widely circulated screenshots of texts purportedly written by Wilson.
“No more white principals on my watch!” said one text.
“I need to clean up this island,” another reads.

Likely an Ed.D not a Ph.D!
OMG!!!! What an EDUCATOR!!
Wall off that city and let no one in or out.
Same way Jill Biden did. No original research needed for Ed.D.
My mother got one to boost her salary and pension.
She calls herself doctor but on any of her bios I can’t find where she got any kind of doctorate. At best it was an EdD over the internet.
She wants us to be South Africa.
*cough*
Probably.
And with an IQ similar to that of Kamala Harris, no less.
Is this a great country or what? 🙄
If you check the highest paid civil servants in state or county are often the education superintendents and other high ranking education officials. Why? Certainly not because of the quality product they produce! It’s because they can scare taxpayers with the cry, “It’s for the children!”.
Don’t get me stated on what university and college presidents are paid!
Lizzo is her idol...
Did I need to look?
Waist diameter larger than height?
And they always move on to “greener pastures and sunsets” like cowboys after bankrupting the school systems with building projects.
Even some pastors do the same. Seen that, too.
I swear she waited on me at the DMV a few weeks ago.
parasite....two govt jobs?
Yep!
A totally closed and self-protective (meaning they protect each other’s access to jobs!) lucrative career to be in!
Sounds like the racist *itch got a promotion to spread her bile.
And a head full of greasy string
Nepotism.
