Today's Big Stories
1. State adopts new rules for non-public schools, yeshivas
Non-public schools — including Hasidic yeshivas — could be subject to inspections by the city education department under new regulations passed by the Board of Regents today.
The rules are aimed at ensuring schools follow a century-old state law which requires non-public schools to offer an education that is substantially equivalent to what’s given in public schools.
2. Legal Aid Society: NYC denied dozens of men temporary housing
The city’s shelter system denied dozens of men temporary housing on Monday, in violation of the five boroughs’ right-to-shelter law, the Legal Aid Society claims.
The city was unable to place at least 60 people Monday night, the Legal Aid Society and the Coalition for the Homeless alleged in a joint press release. New York City’s right-to-shelter law guarantees temporary housing for anyone who applies for shelter placement.
3. TV show about policing East New York draws scrutiny from local residents
In “East New York,” the upcoming police drama on CBS, a reform-minded inspector takes over the local precinct, pushing officers to treat neighborhood residents respectfully and even consider themselves as part of the community.
Yet in the real-life East New York neighborhood, the TV show bearing its name is being met with considerable skepticism.
4. Cuomo ethics complaint repeats claims about harassment probe
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo filed an ethics complaint against state Attorney General Letitia James today, reiterating his oft-repeated complaint about the way she handled a sexual harassment investigation that led to his resignation last year.
Cuomo questioned the accuracy and credibility of the investigation’s findings, alleging James, a fellow Democrat, used the probe to tarnish him and further her own political interests.
5. City takes first step toward landmarking Julius' Bar
The oldest gay bar in the five boroughs, Greenwich Village stalwart Julius’ Bar, is on track to become a New York City landmark.
Members of the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission unanimously voted during a public hearing Tuesday morning to “calendar” the West 10th Street building that houses the bar.
6. Oversight panel: National Archives still not certain it has all Trump records
The National Archives is still not certain that it has custody of all Donald Trump’s presidential records even after the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago club, a congressional committee said in a letter today.
The House Committee on Oversight and Reform revealed that staff at the Archives on an Aug. 24 call could not provide assurances that they have all of Trump’s presidential records.

Pac-Man fever at the MoMA
It’s a familiar sound: the music from the classic video game Pac-Man, which NY1's Roger Clark typically played in the back of a corner candy store or arcade in Queens when he was a teen.
This time, the setting was a little different: the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has a new exhibition called “Never Alone, Video Games and Other Interactive Design.”
