A race discrimination case against the NYC Department of Education and the Public Schools Athletic League seeking equal access to interscholastic sports will proceed as a class action for all New York City Black and Latinx public high school students
NYLPI’s landmark racial discrimination lawsuit against the NYC Department of Education (DOE) and Public School Athletic League (PSAL) cleared a major legal hurdle when it was certified as a class action lawsuit this week. The filing of a First Amended Complaint and the Stipulation certifying the class represent the latest step forward in the two-year-old racial justice litigation brought by NYLPI challenging PSAL and DOE policies regarding distributing after school sports teams. The stipulation certifying the suit as a class action, which was signed by the judge on September 10, 2020, confirms that the lead plaintiffs will represent “all present and future Black and Latino New York City high school students who attend a DOE high school and who are or become eligible for participation in high school sports.”
