MEMORANDUM AND ORDER18-CV-4167

Education Department,
Defendants.X
GLASSER, Senior United States District Judge:
New York's Education Lawprovides that children in private schools must receive an
education that is "at least substantially equivalent" to the instruction given at public schools in
the city or district where they reside. N.Y. Educ. L. § 3204(2)(i). On April 12, 2018, Govemor
Andrew Cuomo signed into lawan amendment to the Education Lawsetting forth factors that
must be considered whenevaluating whether certainprivate schools providea "substantially
equivalent" education. See L. 2018, ch. 59, pt. SSS (the"Felder Amendment" or the
"Amendment"); N.Y. Educ. L. § 3204(2)(ii)-(v). Although the FelderAmendment does not
refer to religious schools on its face. Young Advocates for Fair Education ("YAFFED"), a non
profit group that advocates for improved secular education in the Hasidic Jewish community,
argues that the Amendment was designed to reduce the level of secular education that mustbe
taught in private Hasidic Jewish schoolswithout changingthe educational requirements
