   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.

   Jansen claimed in a pending race-discrimination lawsuit against the DOE   
   that Wilson unfairly removed her as principal of mid-island PS 46 in June   
   2023.   
   Obtained by The New York Post   
   “White folks need to recognize this is not the boys club anymore. A strong   
   black woman runs this bitch now, and they can either get on board or get   
   out.”   
      
   Wilson filed a police report claiming she received threats stemming from   
   “false accusations” that she wrote the texts.   
      
   The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force said it would investigate, and gave   
   Wilson a police escort for some time. “The investigation is ongoing,” an   
   NYPD spokesman said Friday.

   The SCI closed its case several months later after the texts came to   
   light, saying investigators failed to identify who wrote them, a   
   spokesperson told The Post.   
      
   Since then, recordings have emerged purportedly catching Wilson making   
   racially charged remarks to black parents, according to a complainant who   
   sent audio clips to the The Post.   
      
   “I said no more white principals. I meant it,” a woman the complainant   
   identified as Wilson says in one recording. In another, she says, “Us   
   black folks got to stick together. Ain’t nobody helping us.”   
      
   The SCI says it did not investigate the recordings, but referred them to   
   the DOE’s Office of Equal Opportunity.   
      
   “The cases involving these allegations were not substantiated,” said DOE   
   spokesman Nathaniel Styer.   
      
   Wilson did not return a request for comment on the recordings.   
      
   Meanwhile, a white principal, Heather Jansen, claims in a pending   
   discrimination lawsuit against the DOE that Wilson unfairly removed her as   
   principal of PS 46 in June 2023.   
      
   “She probably didn’t know what hit her when they pulled her white ass   
   out,” Wilson allegedly texted, according to a screenshot Jansen submitted   
   as evidence.   
      
   In January, Jansen told the judge she filed a police report claiming she   
   was threatened by a man who showed up at her home in Monroe Township, NJ,   
   and warned, “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll drop the case against   
   Marion.”   
      
   Monroe Township detectives were unable to identify a suspect, a spokesman   
   said this week.   
      
   Wilson leaves the Staten Island community with mixed feelings about her   
   tenure.   
      
   “Nobody saw this coming. Nobody wanted it,” said Liz Cianfrone, a   
   volunteer family advocate who works for students with special needs and   
   their parents.   
      
   Cianfrone praised Wilson as a “role model, inspiration and true advocate   
   for children,” saying she helped kids and tackled problems that other   
   district officials ignored.   
      
   “In her three years as superintendent, I have only known Dr. Wilson to be   
   professional with me and my staff and an ally for our public schools and   
   an advocate for students, parents, and teachers,” said State Assemblyman   
   Michael Reilly, who added he doesn’t know why she was removed.   
      
   But Wilson made such a concerted effort to fill vacancies with Black   
   administrators, some principals say, it drove other candidates to leave   
   the district.   
      
   “Race was the most important criteria in selecting professionals on her   
   team,” one said.
