As a follow-up to this week’s Business in 2025 webinar, Bond attorney Jennifer M. Schwartzott recorded a short video explaining how provisions in the newly passed New York State budget modifies the section of the state’s Education Law that requires private school instruction to be “substantially equivalent” to the education provided in public schools. In particular, she focused on the Felder Amendment, which applies to yeshivas, and how the amended regulations blunt some of the control school districts’ and the state Education Department’s have in determining if nonpublic schools have met “substantial equivalency” requirements.

Topics covered in today’s webinar:

• Federal Court in California Issues Nationwide Injunction Affecting Revocation of F-1 Student Status for Foreign National Students
• Impact of NYS Budget Legislation on Education Law 3204 Regarding “Substantial Equivalency”
• Litigation Avoidance: Provisions Used to Control Litigation and Pre-Suit Considerations
