COURT ALLOWS CASE CHALLENGING SEGREGATION IN N.Y.C. SCHOOLS TO ADVANCE
The lawsuit calls out “pernicious racial inequality” in the nation’s largest
school district. If successful, it could lead to changes to gifted and selective
programs, or even their elimination.

By Troy Closson
May 2, 2024
A major lawsuit challenging racial segregation in New York City’s public schools
was allowed to move forward on Thursday, raising the potential that it will
bring landmark changes to admissions at selective schools in the nation’s
largest school system.
Starting as early as kindergarten, city students are sorted into two different
academic tracks in which they take either general elementary school classes or
specialized gifted and talented classes. Children in the latter track are often
funneled into selective middle and high schools.
The suit argues that many Black and Latino students face “systematic exclusion”
from the gifted and selective pipelines, which blocks them from “prime
educational opportunities” and denies their right to a sound education under the
State Constitution.
The case, if successful, could ultimately force fundamental changes to
admissions policies at hundreds of selective schools, one of the most divisive
education issues in New York and around the country.

A lower court judge had previously dismissed the suit, ruling that it asked the
court system “to make educational policy,” which is beyond its purview. But on
Thursday, a New York appellate court found that the decision was an “error” and
allowed the case to proceed.
In its ruling, the court found that arguments between lawyers for the state and
the city blaming each other “lead to the nonsensical result that no government
entity is responsible for a sound basic education.”
