New York City parents, teachers and other advocates rally ahead of a court hearing on the plan to cut more than $200 million from the education budget.
A court hearing will be held Thursday over the funding fight for New York City public schools.
Parents, teachers and other advocates held a rally outside New York Supreme Court in Lower Manhattan before the hearing. A judge granted a temporary restraining order last week, halting the cuts. "Cutting enrichment and after school programs, further straining working families' schedules and budgets. On top of having to access essential teaching and staff positions, resulting in significant increases in class sizes," one parent in the lawsuit said during the rally.
