Court dismissed the lawsuit against King Center Charter School 

This afternoon, King Center Charter School (“KCCS”) learned the lawsuit filed against it by four former employees and two community members was dismissed, and their request to be reinstated was denied.  The Court determined “[i]t is undisputed that the [employee] Petitioners’ employment contracts with KCCS expired on June 30, 2025,” and held “Petitioners have failed to meet their burden that the failure to renew their employment contracts have caused irreparable harm.”  The Court also agreed with KCCS’ position that, before pursing their claims in Court, Petitioners were required to complete the administrative appeal process they had already started with the school’s charter authorizer, the State University of New York, stating “KCCS is subject to the oversight of its charter authorizer, SUNY, an administrative agency.”  We are pleased to put this behind us, and enthusiastic about the good things ahead for our students, faculty and staff this school year.
