The city could face even more legal trouble from teachers over the controversial effectiveness ratings, union officials told the Daily News.
If the ratings are released to the public despite a pending teachers union lawsuit, the city could get slapped with suits by hundreds of teachers who have called a union hotline to report errors, the officials said.
“If members are harmed or defamed because the Department of Education was not managing the data inside of the system, then we will help them take legal action,” said United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew.
