The United Federation of Teachers filed suit Monday against the Department of Education over its plans to close 19 city schools.
The suit accuses Schools Chancellor Joel Klein of ignoring the law and not properly analyzing the impact of closures on students and communities.
UFT President Michael Mulgrew was joined by teachers, parents, community groups and elected officials for the announcement.
"It has become clear to us that they have not followed the law," Mulgrew argued.
The Panel for Education Policy voted last week to close 19 underperforming schools.
The decision came against objections from students and parents, who rallied and spoke at the meeting for nine hours.
