NYC principal under probe showered taxpayer funds on pals — including Jay Z’s bankrupt ex-manager and wife

A Queens principal who counts former Jay-Z manager Damon Dash and his wife as close pals turned her school into a slush fund for friends, whistleblowers charge.

Aneesha Jacko of PS 35 Nathaniel Woodhull in Hollis has spent tens of thousands in taxpayer funds to buy books published by pals, hired others as consultants, and boldly touted their brands on a sprawling lobby mural that is practically a billboard, staffers said.

“It absolutely blows my mind that she is still allowed to run our school,” a faculty member said of the principal, who took PS 35’s helm in October 2020.

The Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools has been probing complaints about Jacko’s spending for more than three years, spokesman Jason Brooks confirmed.

“The case is still open, and therefore the SCI cannot comment,” he said.

Officials have not accused Jacko of any criminal wrongdoing.

The SCI issued a report in 2022, faulting Jacko for granting excess overtime to a teacher she favored, costing $10,500 in improper payments.

The independent agency referred three other complaints to the city Department of Education to investigate.

Jacko’s closest associates include Dash, who is Jay-Z’s ex-business partner and co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, and Dash’s wife Raquel Horn.

Dash, a controversial figure who overcame drug dealing in his youth, recently filed for bankruptcy to avoid $5 million in lawsuit debts.

He currently owes New York $2.1 million in back taxes.
