Metro Briefing | New York: Brooklyn: Lawsuit Over School Reorganization
By Jennifer Medina (NYT) (Compiled by Marc Santora)
State Senator Carl Kruger, a Brooklyn Democrat, has filed a lawsuit
against Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein,
contending that they essentially eliminated the 32 community school
districts without approval from the State Legislature. He said he would
press for an injunction on putting the plan in effect. ''The mayor and
the chancellor have clearly exceeded the scope of their authority,'' Mr.
Kruger said yesterday in a statement. ''This is not a corporate
reorganization. It is a reorganization that affects the lives of our
children. The city's public school system cannot be revolutionized in a
vacuum.'' Mr. Klein said he was confident the plan was legal. Last
month, five Republican senators issued a statement contending that the
plan needed approval from the Legislature. Jennifer Medina (NYT)
