The 74 reports that 11 parents have filed a lawsuit alleging that the New York City Department of Education has shown “deliberate indifference” toward violence in schools. Abuse from teachers and students alike is cited in the suit. More families are expected to be added as plaintiffs in the near future.

The families aren’t seeking any monetary damages, just reforms that will force the hand of a Department of Education they see as complacent on bullying. The suit is backed by Families for Excellent Schools, a pro-charter school organization.
