A NYC assistant principal got a $50,000 raise to $192,374 to lead a proposed AI high school, then the city scrapped it and he kept the salary

A New York City assistant principal is still collecting a nearly $200,000 salary for a high school that never opened, as reported by the New York Post . Caleb Haraguchi-Combs was tapped to lead a proposed artificial intelligence and computer technology high school in FiDi, which came with a significant pay bump, but the project was scrapped. Haraguchi-Combs, 33, saw his annual salary jump by $50,000 to $192,374 when he was promoted to “project director” in January, a role that typically transitions into the principal of a new school. He previously served as an assistant principal at Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics in East Harlem, where he made $141,960 a year. A school official said Haraguchi-Combs is no longer at that school. The proposed Next Generation Technology High School never got the green light. Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels reportedly killed the proposal in April amid backlash over its merit-based admissions model and concerns about artificial intelligence in schools. Haraguchi-Combs has reportedly continued to collect his principal-level pay. Nobody seems to agree on what his job is now Reporters approached Haraguchi-Combs outside his home, where he declined to say where he currently works. He reportedly responded, “You came to my

25 Famous New Yorkers You Didn’t Know Graduated From Harvard University

Harvard University sits in Cambridge, Massachusetts, hundreds of miles from the streets of New York City and the towns and villages of New York State. Yet there is a remarkable New York story within its alumni history. Students who grew up in Brooklyn apartments, on Long Island, in the Bronx, beside the Hudson River, and in Upstate cities traveled to Harvard and later became presidents, scientists, writers, actors, judges, and business leaders. Some are so strongly identified with New York that their college years in Massachusetts are easy to overlook.

Irvington football fends off late rally in playoff upset of Ramapo

FRANKLIN LAKES – On a foggy, rainy night, Irvington took another step toward the vision. The Blue Knights raced out to a big halftime lead, then held on in the final seconds to take down top seed Ramapo 28-21 in the second round of the North Group 5 playoffs. “It’s personal, because a lot of people back at home saying we didn’t have any vision here since Smoke [coach Ashley Pierre] left,” said an elated Irvington coach Marco Soto. “We’re the same program. I made it a point to keep the family together, and here we are.” The Blue Knights (7-4) led 28-3 after a dominating first half, but Ramapo pushed back and, after an incredible Jack Schneider catch and run, were inside the Irvington 20 with a chance to tie the score with under a minute to play. Facing fourth down and 10, Ramapo tried a quarterback throwback pass to Luke Magerko, but he was hit out of bounds by Leonidas Williams several yards short of the marker. A flag came in and there was a discussion whether Irvington had 12 men on the field. One player was hustling to get to the sidelines before the play started. “They
