NYC DOE exec in ‘cover up’ for repeat hooky given generous raiseBy Susan Edelman

A top enrollment official for the city Department of Education was found to have repeatedly played hooky and sold clothing online during work hours, yet she was rewarded with a promotion and a pay raise just weeks after a misconduct probe, The Post has learned.
As senior executive director in the Office of Student Enrollment, Amanda Lurie was a chronic no-show, barely visited the “family welcome centers” she was supposed to supervise, took off on work days, and peddled apparel during DOE hours on Poshmark, the DOE’s Office of Special Investigations (OSI) concluded in late February, according to the investigator who conducted the probe.
Lurie was removed from the enrollment office at the end of March, but it was painted as a promotion.
First Deputy Chancellor Daniel Weisberg named her a “senior advisor” in his office, and that month she received a pay hike from $199,118 to $208,000 a year.
Lurie, 54, boasted to colleagues and friends on Facebook that she had a higher position with “with a very nice raise.”
