Dr. Roberto Padilla, a newly appointed school superintendent for the Bronx, is currently facing workplace sexual harassment and retaliation allegations, according to a lawsuit filed in the Hudson Valley.
Mayor Eric Adams and Department of Education (DOE) Chancellor David C. Banks appointed Dr. Padilla as superintendent of the South Bronx’s District 7 on June 27, despite an open complaint against him alleging several instances of inappropriate conduct while serving the Newburgh school district, as well as retaliation after allegations were made.
