Deborah Buckley an assistant superintendent in the Buffalo Board of Education grants department in City Hall was escorted from her office last week put on an administrative leave, a move warranted by the outgoing Superintendent James A. Williams, the Buffalo News disclosed yesterday.

The Buffalo school board met several times since the incident happened though some frustrated about the pace it's taken to resolved the matter according to West District member Ralph Hernandez  interviewed after the latest board committee meeting yesterday and  a decision  left  for  next week's board meeting.
