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.
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.
