Former DOE Employee Claims Department Discriminates Against Latinos – New York City
Tagged: attorney, family, New York, New York City, outreachPosted on: September 23rd, 2007“For seven years Miguel Melendez was a senior family outreach official for public schools in the Bronx, but now he’s out of a job. He says it’s because the Department of Education does not want Latinos in senior family outreach positions.
“At this point there are no Latinos in administration at central office, in the office of parent involvement, or in the boroughs,” said Melendez. “That is totally unacceptable.”
Melendez’ attorney said his client’s going to file a federal civil rights complaint against the city for laying off Melendez and two other Latino family officials during a big reshuffling of the school bureaucracy this summer. “
