A Bronx school superintendent promoted to a new top position by Chancellor Richard Carranza was feted with a lavish party organized by subordinates at a cost of $111 a head from 400 guests, including employees under her control, The Post has learned.

The Department of Education’s Office of Ethics and Conflicts of Interest received a complaint that the extravagant affair may have violated Chancellor’s Regulations, but DOE officials defended the bash, which cost around $45,000.

Meisha Ross Porter — wearing a tiara and glittering white dress — made a grand entrance in a glass elevator that rose onto the ballroom at Villa Barone Manor, a Bronx catering hall popular for weddings.

That dramatic flourish added $500 to the tab. The evening featured a buffet, DJ and open bar, sources said.

“What an amazing night looks like??? I am so deeply blessed, so highly favored, so honored and humbled to be celebrated by my birth and BRONX family!!” Porter gushed on Facebook (pictured top) a day after the Feb. 7 gala, which also celebrated her birthday.

Early in her career, Porter was principal of the Bronx School for Law, Government and Justice, a middle school graded “F” in 2007, her fourth year at the helm, but she gained influence.

Ex-Chancellor Carmen Fariña promoted her to District 11 superintendent in 2015. In August 2018, Carranza named her one of nine newly created “executive superintendents.”

Porter, 45, now oversees Districts 7 to 12 — all Bronx public schools — and reports directly to Carranza’s First Deputy Chancellor Cheryl Watson-Harris. Her salary: $203,375.

Porter declined to comment, but when asked about reports she received a cash gift at the party, told The Post, “I never received a gift.”

DOE spokesman Doug Cohen said Porter did get a $500 gift card but “called our ethics officer for advice and returned” it.

Asked if Porter paid the $222 entry cost for herself and her husband, Cohen did not answer.

He also refused to say whether organizers used the DOE’s tax-exempt status to avoid paying tax on the party.

The May 20 letter to the DOE’s ethics officer said, “It’s unconscionable to witness this costly extravaganza, considering [Porter] is an educational leader in the poorest congressional district in the country.”

The letter, whose writer remained anonymous to avoid reprisal, said some employees felt pressured to go:

“Those who did attend may have the advantage of preferential treatment . . . and those who did not fear retaliation.”

But Sanesha Blackwood-Falconer, a parent on the District 11 Community Education Council, said she and others came to celebrate Porter as a “go-getter” for the Bronx: “I don’t think a gun was held to their heads.”

Among the attendees was City Councilwoman Vanessa Gibson, who came as a guest at no charge.

Cohen said the $111 ticket price and use of DOE e-mail to plan the party was not improper. “Employees are permitted to organize events for their colleagues that may include requests for donations,” he said.
