The city now has a little more time to respond to a lawsuit requesting that thousands of teachers' performance data be kept under wraps.
Arguments in the case will now be heard on December 8 instead of November 24.
NY1 and several other news organizations used the Freedom of Information Law to request the 12,000 teacher report cards.
While the city agreed, the teacher's union sued to block the release.
The city scores teachers on how much or how little their students' performance has improved, but the union says the way the city arrives at that score is flawed.
If the data is made public, parents will be able to look it up for their own children's teachers.
