Parents and teachers who brought a lawsuit against the cuts won a temporary restraining order on Friday. Sources say the court case has placed negotiations between the administration and the City Council to restore $250 million in funding on hold.
A classroom sits empty at a Manhattan elementary school.New York City has petitioned the state Supreme Court to “vacate” a temporary restraining order in a lawsuit against the budget reductions granted by a judge on Friday, claiming, in part, that complying with the order will disrupt planning for the coming school year.
According to the plaintiffs’ claim, members of the Panel for Education Policy are supposed to “review and approve the yearly estimated education budget” under New York education law “prior to” the city Council’s vote. But in the motion filed Monday, the city argues that it’s “entirely speculative” to assume that the Council would have acted differently if the oversight body had voted first. It also claims the plaintiffs waited too long to file their case, and that the scope of the cuts were “clearly known” way back when the preliminary budget was released in February. E
Now, a New York Supreme Court judge could either side with the city and remove the restraining order, allowing the cuts to remain, or the case could move forward to a hearing scheduled for August 4th with arguments from both sides. Education activists said they are hopeful that the Council will move to restore education funding if given the opportunity.
The education department has also slightly reduced the average teacher salary by $500, which was first reported by The New York Post. Teachers salaries are one of many factors in what’s known as the Fair Student Formula, a mechanism used to determine how much funding each school receives based on enrollment and student need.
