Employees allegedly paid $111 per person to attend the event where Porter donned a tiara and glittery white dress. The incoming chancellor also reportedly used a glass elevator that rose onto the ballroom floor to make her grand entrance, which cost an additional $500.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Porter will become the NYC public school chancellor on March 15.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
