“We welcome the decision in yesterday’s proceedings to consolidate the case to ensure a quality teacher in every New York classroom. Our mission is to support the courageous parents who are fighting for the sound education the New York Constitution guarantees their kids, and adding additional parents will only strengthen our effort. We intend to demonstrate in court what too many families across the state have found: quality teachers are being laid off simply due to lack of seniority while it remains nearly impossible to dismiss teachers that have continually failed students.”
