Last week, in a ruling that could have major ramifications for yeshiva students across New York State, an appellate court overruled a lower court ruling that the Washingtonville school district must provide transportation to nonpublic school students on all days that their schools are in session. The case, United Jewish Community of Blooming Grove v. Washingtonville Central School District, challenged the school district’s policy of providing transportation to nonpublic school students only on days that public schools are also open, a policy that was supported and defended by the New York State Education Department.
