RAMAPO, N.Y. – A number of ultra-Orthodox Jewish leaders are banding together to fight a state panel’s recommendation that a monitor with veto power oversee the troubled East Ramapo Board of Education, according to a report on Lohud.com.
Dennis Walcott, former New York City chancellor, recommended that the state provide a monitor with veto to oversee the East Ramapo school district. Ultra-Orthodox Jewish leaders in Rockland County are rallying constituents to fight the move.

Several groups opposing the request for such oversight have sprung up in Rockland County, Lohud reported.
