In a failed attempt to bribe a school principal and a custodian, the president of a Brooklyn nonprofit organization lost $59,000 in City Council grants, the New York Post reports.

An investigation by the Department of Education reportedly found extensive problems with the nonprofit’s program at PS 114 in Canarsie, including leaving the students to roam around between class dismissal at 2.50 p.m. and the program at 3 p.m. Mayor Bloomberg withdrew five grants to the nonprofit— Friends United Youth Center—once this was discovered.
