A Long Island teacher has filed a lawsuit against the state Education Department, claiming New Yorks’ teacher evaluation system is statistically flawed.

Lederman is a fourth-grade teacher in the Great Neck elementary schools. She has a doctorate in education.
According to Newsday, her lawsuit says the evaluation system lacks a proper appeals process.
The teacher evaluation is based in part on a formula that includes students’ test performance.
A spokesman for the Education Department says it doesn’t comment on litigation.
