Port Chester school board removes its president over Facebook posts
The Port Chester Board of Education voted to remove its president, Tom Corbia, at a special meeting Wednesday night, ending a seven-month controversy over racist Facebook posts that appeared on his account.
The board voted 3-1 for Corbia’s removal, with Vice President Chrissie Onofrio, Luigi Russo and Christopher Wolff voting in favor and Anne Capeci voting against.
“This was a difficult process for the Board of Education and the Port Chester community. The board appreciates your patience,” said a statement from the board's attorneys, read by Onofrio at the meeting.
