Statement from Partnership for Educational Justice in response to State motion to stay HG v. Harrington
Partnership for Educational Justice Executive Director Ralia Polechronis released the following statement in response to motions filed yesterday evening by the New Jersey Commissioner of Education and the New Jersey Board of Education to stay HG v. Harrington, a lawsuit filed by six Newark parents challenging the constitutionality of New Jersey’s quality-blind teacher layoff law.
“The State claims to be working on behalf of New Jersey parents, but has opposed Newark parents’ request to be heard in a Supreme Court case about education funding and policy, and now the state wants to delay parents’ challenge to New Jersey’s quality-blind teacher layoff law. These brave parents only want what all parents want for their children — a quality education as guaranteed by the state constitution. With substantial school budget cuts looming, there is no time to waste. These parents are not backing down, and they will fight until their children’s rights are upheld.”
– Ralia Polechronis, Executive Director, Partnership for Educational Justice
