PARENTS DEFENDING EDUCATION APPEALS DISMISSAL OF LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CROTON HARMON SCHOOL DISTRICT TO US COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT...FOLLOWING ITS CAREFULLY PLANNED STRATEGY...

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

UPDATE FROM THE CROTON CHRONICLE: 

Parents Defending Education appeals dismissal of its lawsuit against the Croton-Harmon school district to U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Following its carefully planned strategy, the plaintiffs in the lawsuit wasted no time filing an appeal of the decision they had asked U.S. Judge Cathy Seibel to make.

JUL 12

As we reported yesterday, after a half-hour hearing with the plaintiffs, Parents Defending Education, and the defendants, the Croton-Harmon school district, U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel granted PDE’s request for her to dismiss the case so that PDE could take some issues of judicial precedents up on appeal.

The plaintiffs wasted no time in doing so. Today, PDE’s attorneys filed notice with the court of their appeal to the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals, located in lower Manhattan. As we discussed in our earlier coverage, getting Judge Seibel to dismiss the case was an integral part of PDE’s legal strategy to put at least some of the issues in the lawsuit before a higher court, and eventually the U.S. Supreme Court.

ABOUT THOSE 2024 SUMMERFEST TOURS, HOLY NAME OF MARY...AND MORE...courtesy of Brigid Faranda:

To follow up on the tours. No photos but during the afternoon we had 24 people take tours. Half of these were parishioners and the other half non parishioners. It was well received by everyone. The guides did an amazing job.  Everyone learned a lot about our lovely HNM. Brigid Faranda enjoyed sharing her findings on the statue, Immaculata.  (Click on the photo.) We hope to do tours in the future and got some good feedback from our Summerfest experience.
