The United Federation of Teachers went to court to stop the New York City Department of Education from publicly disclosing the names and performance reports of teachers in the biggest U.S. public school system.
Oral arguments were held today before Justice Cynthia Kern in New York state Supreme Court in Manhattan in the union’s suit to block the release of evaluations meant to show individual instructors’ success in boosting student test scores. The union wants the teachers’ names redacted. Kern didn’t rule.
