The Department of Education has moved a top administrator in the latest personnel shake-up stemming from a string of student transportation disasters, officials told The Post.

CEO of school operations Elizabeth Rose was removed from the post where she ran school facilities, food and transportation.

She will now serve as “senior contracts adviser for transportation.”

Rose supervised support services CEO Eric Goldstein, who was sacked on Friday by Chancellor Richard Carranza amid mounting fury over late and no show buses, as well as shoddy driver certification.

Rose was previously involved in overseeing the discipline of drivers and attendants found guilty of misconduct. An April report in The Post found Rose angered investigators by repeatedly reversing firings and reducing suspensions.

Critics charged that she prioritized the preservation of driver jobs over the safety of kids.

The DOE said Rose will continue to draw the same $197,425 salary.

DOE spokesman Will Mantell insisted the move was not a demotion.

Elizabeth Rose is “bringing her expertise in the area to advise on the city’s school bus contracts and vendor relationships,” he said.

The shakeups are “smoke and mirrors,” DOE Investigator Eric Reynolds said, a retired NYPD detective.
