Investigators are looking into shady contracts signed by New York City Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels when he was a district superintendent, The Post has learned.

The Post revealed last week that Samuels inked a contract with non-DOE-approved vendor Sean Kreyling while serving as head of District 3 on the Upper West Side — then split the payments into $25,000 checks in an apparent attempt to evade city financial oversight.

Kreyling’s companies provided temporary foreign-language teachers to city schools. He signed two $180,000 contracts with District 3, one signed by Samuels in 2023 and another with Samuels’ former Deputy Superintendent Mariela Graham in 2024.

After Kreyling inked the 2024 deal, his staffing company Language Learning Network inadvertently sent a Spanish teacher into two city schools who had been banned from working for the DOE for sexual misconduct.
