A 2832 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Provides an enforcement mechanism for non-public school educational standards

This bill establishes a formal enforcement system to ensure that non-public schools provide educational instruction substantially equivalent to that of local public schools. It allows parents, students, and other stakeholders to file written complaints if they believe a private school is not meeting these standards, prompting the state commissioner to investigate by reviewing school documents and conducting unannounced classroom visits. If an investigation confirms that a school is failing to provide comparable education, the commissioner can take corrective actions ranging from requiring a curriculum plan and placing an observer on-site to withholding funding or revoking the school's registration.
