A New York court ruled on Tuesday that budget cuts to the city’s public schools can remain in place, ending a monthslong legal battle over the legality of the funding changes. The New York Supreme Court of Appeals shot down an August ruling from a lower court that aimed to force the City Council to revote on the schools budget, finding that a new vote would “have a broad unsettling effect on the DOE’s operations and be detrimental to students and teachers alike." The appeals court agreed with teachers and parents who sued over the changes that the process leading up to the city’s budget approval violated the law, but allowed the cuts to move forward regardless.
