The New York State Education Department has notified two Chassidic schools in Brooklyn that they will lose public funding due to their failure to provide education that meets state requirements. The department emphasized that the schools did not demonstrate compliance with the state's educational standards after multiple opportunities. Parents are required to enroll their children in an educational setting that offers equivalent instruction by July 1, 2025, or face the discontinuation of services. This move reflects ongoing tensions over educational standards in religious institutions.
