The Association of Orthodox Jewish Teachers (AOJT) is a dedicated organization representing the rights and interests of Orthodox Jewish teachers and professionals in the New York City Public Schools. With an active Grievance Committee, they provide support and advocacy to ensure that religious rights are protected and individual problems are resolved.
AOJT has played a significant role in influencing policies and regulations, such as the inclusion of travel time in early dismissal on winter Fridays and the passage of the Sabbath Observers Bill. They also work towards accommodating religious holidays in the school calendar and provide resources and support for Jewish educators through newsletters, cultural clubs, and professional development opportunities.
