“NEW YORK – (AP) — A New York judge says a lawsuit that aims to revise New York’s teacher tenure rules can proceed.
In a decision Friday, state Supreme Court Justice Philip Minardo denied a motion to dismiss the suit.
The plaintiffs argue that teacher tenure and layoffs by seniority deprive students of the sound, basic education they are guaranteed under the state constitution.
The ruling allows for the case to be heard in a state appellate court.”
