This is Ludacris. An NYC educrat who moonlights as a rapper is raking in an eye-watering $192,374 principal’s salary for not running a school, The Post has learned. Caleb Haraguchi-Combs was a vice principal in BORO when he was handpicked in January to become “project director” of the proposed Next Generation Technology High School . Caleb Haraguchi Combs is collecting a nearly $200,000 salary but not working at any city school. Caleb Haraguchi-Combs/LinkedIn The promotion came with a $50,000 raise to principal-level compensation. A project director of a planned school usually becomes the new school’s principal.

Ex-cop Sayed Mohassib had NYC jogger Katie Suarez’s blood splattered over his apartment walls after alleged murder: prosecutors Yet the windfall continued for Haraguchi-Combs, 33. In his previous role as assistant principal at Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics in East Harlem, he made $141,960 a year, according to public records. A Manhattan Center official confirmed that Haraguchi-Combs
