| | Agudath Israel Testifies at NYS Joint Legislative Hearing to Advance Yeshiva Equity, Security, and Tuition Assistance | | Late Wednesday night, Agudath Israel, represented by its Chief of Staff, Avrohom Weinstock, was one of only two nonpublic school groups to testify before members of the NYS Senate and Assembly at the 2022 Joint Legislative Budget Hearing for Elementary and Secondary Education.
To view the testimony, click here.
The testimony stated a case for equity, explored substantial equivalency, and encouraged the legislature to triple the Nonpublic School Safety Equipment (NPSE) grant, as the Agudah had successfully championed Governor Hochul to do in her recently released Executive Budget. Tuition paying parents need all the help they can get, so this testimony also contained a novel proposal to directly assist parents. While such proposals are not typically popular in Albany, that won't stop the Agudah from fighting for them!
