Approximately 5,200 Black and Hispanic former and aspiring teachers will receive part of a massive legal payout from New York City after court rulings determined their licensing exams violated civil rights.

According to the New York Post on Saturday, Manhattan federal court records showed that 225 people who failed the Liberal Arts and Sciences Test used for teacher licensing between 1994 to 2014 had received settlements of at least $1 million. This will be part of the city’s larger settlement amounting to more than $1.8 billion, New York City’s largest legal payout.

The lawsuit, originally filed by four teachers in 1996, claimed that the exam was “culturally biased” in favor of White applicants. According to the plaintiffs, more than 90% of White applicants passed the multiple-choice and essay test while Black applicants only passed 53% of the time. Hispanic applicants only received passing scores 50% of the time.
