Judge Diane Gujarati found city regulations likely violate the First Amendment due to vagueness and viewpoint discrimination.
The Education Department is reviewing and revising the regulations in response to the ruling.
The case involves broader issues of free speech and the authority of school chancellors over elected parent leaders.
