The city and teachers union have two weeks to prepare arguments in their battle over school closures and charter school co-locations, according to an agreement hammered out today between both sides and the state judge who will preside over the case, a union official said.
That means that school officials will have to wait to learn whether the judge, Paul Feinman of the state supreme court, will grant the teachers union the temporary restraining order it requested. The order would immediately halt school closure and co-location plans even before the court decides whether they are ultimately illegal, as the UFT and NAACP charged in a lawsuit last month.
Lawyers for the education department did not immediately respond to confirm the details, but UFT spokesman Dick Riley said both sides are due back in court on June 21, when Feinman is expected to hear their arguments.
In the meantime, the sides agreed on basic terms similar to what the plaintiffs seek out of the restraining order.
During the inaugural Healthy School Communities Virtual Conference held May 10–13, what came across loud and clear by each of our mentor sites was the need to connect with their communities. However as the week drew on, what became even clearer was that these sites didn’t just connect with their communities; rather they sought to empower their communities. They brought them in, asked advice, listened, and distributed leadership and ownership, and were able to engage their community stakeholders in meaningful, purposeful activities. These sites were demonstrating how they were in fact moving along a continuum from community connection to community empowerment.
