LAWSUITS ALLEGING STATUTES CONCERNING THE HIRING AND FIRING OF TEACHERS HAVE LED TO THE RETENTION OF INEFFECTIVE TEACHERS AND THE CONSEQUENT VIOLATION OF THE RIGHT TO A SOUND BASIC EDUCATION PROPERLY SURVIVED MOTIONS TO DISMISS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined two lawsuits (the Davids plaintiffs and the Wright plaintiffs) brought on behalf of New York public school students, alleging that certain statutes and policies concerning the hiring and firing of teachers leads to the retention of ineffective teachers, properly survived motions to dismiss. The statutes were alleged to violate the right to a sound basic education guaranteed by the NY Constitution:

… [T]he Davids plaintiffs’ allegations are sufficient to state a cause of action for a judgment declaring that the [teacher] Dismissal Statutes and the LIFO [last in first out] Statute separately and together violate the right to a sound basic education protected by the Education Article of the NY Constitution. In addition, the Wright plaintiffs’ allegations are sufficient to state a cause of action for a judgment declaring that the Challenged Statutes violate the NY Constitution. Accordingly, the defendants were not entitled to dismissal under CPLR 3211(a)(7). Davids v State of New York, 2018 NY Slip Op 02168, Second Dept 3-28-18
