Schools on closure list to remain open

From NY1:

A federal judge has ruled the city broke the law when it voted to close 19 public schools.

The ruling comes in the wake of a lawsuit filed from the United Federal of Teachers that claims the Department of Education did not properly follow the law and did not analyze the impact the closures will have communities.

DOE officials held hearings on the matter back in February.

The city has the option to appeal the ruling.
