On Monday, Amaris Cockfield, a City Hall spokesperson, said attorneys would file the rest of the paperwork for the appeal “shortly.” The appeals court could place a “stay” on Frank’s decision, which would likely allow the education department to move forward with the budget as it stands. If it does, the plaintiffs plan to appeal, Barbieri said, and litigation will continue as the first day of school approaches.
“It has become clearer than ever that DOE lacks transparency and accountability and removed hundreds of millions of dollars more from school budgets than it ever conveyed in the city budget,” Council speaker Adrienne Adams said in a statement on Friday. In response, Mayor Adams’ press secretary Fabien Levy said in a statement later on Friday that the mayor and schools chancellor “are committed to providing every available resource to our students to provide them with the best education possible, and that is what this budget does.”
