The NYS Education Department recently released new, proposed Substantial Equivalency Regulations for nonpublic schools. These regulations can give unprecedented authority over the Yeshivos to the local public-school districts, and the curricular requirements can present a serious challenge to the ability of many Yeshivos to be mechanech our children according to our mesorah.
We have until May 30 to express our objections to these regulations before the Board of Regents votes on it in September and the regulations go into effect!
We already have close to 140,000 comments. We need 200,000. May 30 is the deadline. Your voice is critical to our collective success. Please click the Submit Your Letter button below and Make Your Voice Heard!

YOUR OPINION MATTERS
Let’s remember that members of the Board of Regents are appointed by YOUR representatives in the New York State legislature. Their work is supposed to reflect the will of the people, and as a citizen of the State of New York, and as a concerned stakeholder, YOU have a right and obligation to make your voice heard.
The last proposed regulations generated 140,000 comments, nearly all in opposition. This resulted in a deferral of the regulations for years, and several positive changes to the regulations. However, the danger to Yeshivos remains. So, whether you are a yeshiva parent, student, graduate, educator, or community member.
DON’T REMAIN SILENT
