The New York State Council of Catholic School Superintendents, representing all 500 Catholic schools in New York State, announced this week that it has rejected the recently released “substantial equivalency” guidelines and is directing all diocesan Catholic schools not to participate in any review carried out by local public school officials. They further stated they will be working with state legislators to change the state law to override the regulations.

(Thank you Rebbe Yid for bringing this to attention.)

The Agudah has successfully worked with them in the past on mutual legislative goals. They have a lot of influence in the state.
