A Reprieve for Closed Schools
March 26th, 2010

A State Supreme Court judge in Manhattan has halted the city’s closing of 19 schools, the Times reports .

The judge, Joan B. Lobis, ruled the city violated state education law by not providing the detailed analysis required in the educational impact statement that must be filed for school closings. The increased oversight of school closings put in place by the legislature when it renewed mayoral control of schools last summer.

The city corporation counsel’s office denies that and says it plans to appeal.

The suit had been brought by the United Federation of Teachers and the NAACP.
