NYS Supreme Court rules against NYC DOE and for parents
I have given many presentations to parent groups and CECs, pointing out how DOE has been violating the accountability and public input requirements in the Contracts for Excellence law, by refusing to hold borough hearings and only presenting sketchy power points to Community Education Councils long after the $600 million in annual C4E funds have already been spent. Guess what? The Court agreed. See press release below. Thanks to Wendy Lecker of the Education Law Center and plaintiffs Lisa Shaw, Isaac Carmignani, Shino Tanikawa, and Karen Sprowal; the court decision is here.
