Find Out More About The Lawsuit Against NYC's School Budget Cuts - Monday, July 25th, 2022 at 4 PM
More big news in the multi-pronged fight by parents and educators to restore the school budget cuts passed by NYC’s Mayor Adams and the City Council!
In the lawsuit (Tucker v New York City) against the city’s attempt to radically cut budgets filed on July 18, Judge Lyle Frank of the NY State Supreme Court granted the plaintiffs a temporary restraining order – meaning the city is enjoined from making any further cuts to school budgets and the spending must remain at the levels in their FY 22 budgets. The Judge allowed the city to submit arguments in writing against the TRO on Monday, with the plaintiff’s attorney, Laura Barbieri, of Advocates for Justice, to reply to the city on Tuesday.
The plaintiffs are New York City parents and educators who have joined together to seek redress against these school budget cuts that strip millions from our city's children and schools for the upcoming school year.
The case will be heard in court on August 4 at 10 AM. You can read more on the case here: https://
