Company hired NYC schools chancellor's brother, then earned $1.4M in contracts

The Banks brothers are now enmeshed in a sprawling federal probe that has touched several high-ranking members of Mayor Eric Adams' administrationAhead of the 2022 school year, the education technology company 21stCentEd was seeking to expand its presence in New York City's public schools. So they turned to a man, Terence Banks, whose new consulting firm promised to connect clients with top government stakeholders.

that he had been pressured by the aide into hiring the police commissioner's brother to make noise complaints against his business go away. New York City schools chancellor David Banks appeared on Today in New York on the first day of school to talk about the year ahead. “It’s surprisingly arrogant or obtuse that David Banks, one of the city’s top government officials, would ignore this basic, commonsense, conflict of interest rule,” Kaehny said in an email.

Dylan Howard, a spokesperson for the company, said Terence Banks was hired “to help 21stCentEd present our STEM solutions and services to decision makers within New York City public schools.” He said they learned of his consulting firm through a 21stCentEd employee who has since left the company. The third Banks brother, Philip Banks, maintains wide influence over the NYPD as deputy mayor for public safety. A spokesperson for SaferWatch, Hank Sheinkopf, declined to comment. The NYPD did not respond to email inquiries.

The bar owner, Shamel Kelly, told WNBC-TV that Martin gave him what felt like an ultimatum last year to either pay James Caban or risk having his business shut down. Kelly said James Caban demanded an upfront fee of $2,500. He said he had been interviewed Thursday by federal investigators and the city’s Department of Investigation. Messages seeking comment were left with those agencies.
