The situation is a more than $60 million budget shortfall.

Barbara Deane-Williams was hired as superintendent of city schools in July of 2016.

She left in January of 2019.

These are the budget totals during her tenure. We found them posted on the district website.

2017-18: $883,356,377

2018-19: $915,945,579

The school budget went up approximately $32 million. We asked the New York State Department of Education to tell us how much state aid increased between those budget years.

The department did not respond.

The first location we tried for Deane-Williams was more than an hour away in Orleans County.

After winding through rural roads we came to a lakefront home. According to the New York State Department of State, Deane-Williams registered a business at this address on Aug. 16, 2019.

No one answered at the home, but we had one more place to check.

That was an apartment back in the City of Rochester. Records show she was listed as living at an apartment in the East End of downtown once. I went to the apartment and checked the directory and her name was not listed today.

I contacted the District Attorney's office and shared Commissioner Lebron's statement. The DA's spokeswoman replied "no comment."

The state Comptroller's office is doing an audit of the district. If history is any indication, we should expect a report from the Comptroller in March.
