Private and religious schools in New York will now face greater scrutiny after state education leaders approved rules requiring the schools to prove their academic programs line up with those of public schools. In a unanimous vote, the Board of Regents now requires all 1,800 nonpublic schools in the state to adhere to the new rules to prove that the instruction given in nonpublic schools "be at least substantially equivalent to the instruction" at public schools, as is already required by state law. Tuesday's action followed several years of debate that began with complaints of children graduating from ultra-Orthodox Jewish schools lacking basic academic skills.
