Matter of Parents for Educ. & Religious Liberty in Schs. v. Young

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division order, holding that the Commissioner of Education lawfully promulgated the regulatory provisions that deem a nonpublic school non‑compliant with the Education Law after a final negative substantial‑equivalence determination, and that the recent amendment to Education Law § 3204 does not moot this challenge. The decision rests on statutory interpretation of the Commissioner’s authority and the mootness doctrine.
