Hasidic Schools in New York Found to Violate Education Law

Eighteen Hasidic Jewish private schools in New York City have been found to break the law by failing to provide adequate secular education according to a report that came from an eight-year investigation.
The schools receive public funding but have resisted outside monitoring and oversight.
The investigation faced political interference and bureaucratic challenges.
If the findings are upheld, the schools may have to submit improvement plans and undergo government monitoring, but consequences remain unclear.
The investigation was spurred by complaints from current and former students and parents in addition to previous reporting by The New York Times highlighting the lack of secular education in the schools.
