MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG’S STATEMENT ON THE DENIAL OF THE TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

“We are pleased that the court has denied an unnecessary temporary restraining order that was political in nature and lacking in legal merit.  The court has rightfully recognized that these reforms would not be implemented until the school year ends and we are confident that the court, upon reviewing all of the arguments in early June, will rule that the City is well within its legal rights to carry out the historic restructuring of its public school system.”
