Students were allowed back in school if they showed an appt scheduled for the rest of the shots.

Whether they later kept the appt, is up to your imagination....


That is only for students who've already had the first set of all vaccinations. Many schools are 'machmir' beyond the law and require that at least one shot be given within the last few months.

Oh don't bother asking. I asked something like it and received 566 responses!!! ( yes I checked) and maybe 2 answers.
Don't get me wrong it was definitely good for my ego to get so many responses.


I know they opened something in Williamsburg if that matters..

What is a homeschooling school? That seems like an oxymoron? DO you mean like a co-op or families that homeschool together?

AFAIK, in Williamsburg, it is a group of families that homeschool together.

official/unofficial.
A reg school would be illegal.
They call it homeschool. Don't see how it is sustainable because they won't get any gov't funding & neither too many sponsors so tuition will probably run very high.
If they don't have so many children they might have to combine some classes.

Many did give some shots to be able to get back to regular school.

I actually know a couple of schools that are around for a few decades without gov. support. The only support they take is Title One so that it can benefit students, but it doesn't help the school in any way.

Whoever is sending is passionate and will want to make it work. It is very viable.
Also. no non-payers or discounted tuitions, which drains many schools.

They have to be able to afford a higher tuition to sustain a school. In Williamsburg with chassidishe schools people are used to lower tuition or some govt help to help them pay for tution/daycare which now they can't receive if they dont oblige

There seems to be this weird misconception about getting govt money and vaccines. No matter if you get money or not, the law in ny is that ur child must have immunizations if they are attending school, public or private. Homeschoolers so far are exempt. However, the DOH states that if the Homeschoolers are getting together for more than one subject, it is considered private school and will need vaccines

Is the government that on top of it? What if students are meeting in the library or just happen to learn with their chavrusa in shul, how would government officials ascertain that the learning isn't happening only at home? I would think that the government would not know if a group of homeschooling students took trips together or formed sports teams. My understanding was that someone from the board of education met with homeschoolers at periodic intervals but wouldn't know how the day was divided up.

Lots of people are adept at subterfuge but like the mouse who gets brave enough to come out during the day, he eventually gets caught. A big group would get noticed.

It's all in the legalities of how they file. If they file as a school, they are under DOH's jurisdiction. They have the benefits of a legal school but also the added responsibility. If they file as a homeschool co-op, they have the freedom from the DOH but aren't eligible for any funding that a school would be entitled to.

They may be filed as a copp, but if they r doing more than one subject, they will be considered a school when being checked up on. While in theory govt is too busy to bother generally, in this case, DOH has lists of children from last yearbwho weren't vaxxer and if they choose to, can decide to check to see how these kids are being taught....

I would imagine that there are ways around that such as incorporating subjects as religious extracurriculars. For example, the parsha could be read in English and math and science could be based on the parsha. That way, only history and geography would be taught as a secular subject and they could be incorporated into one topic.
Does the DOE care if religion is used as the backdrop for secular subjects? What level of surveillance do they provide?
