Hello,
I urge the City Council to take action to ensure that the Department of Education is preparing to provide robust oversight to the nonpublic school sector, including conducting school review visits.
Every child has the right to a sound, basic education and it is the responsibility of the Department of Education to regulate nonpublic schools. There are at least 50,000 students in Hasidic yeshivas who are being denied an education in basic subjects. The mayor must adequately fund the office of nonpublic schools and hire school review staff in order to end the educational neglect and ensure the sector is functioning properly.
