NYSED Appealed the United Jewish Community School Decision

December 13, 2021 10:26 AM | Tammy Mortier (Administrator)

The question on appeal is whether the Court correctly interpreted Education Law section 3635 as requiring school districts outside of New York City to transport non-public school students on days that the non-public schools are open, but the school district's public schools are closed.

This ruling is contrary to the District's policy and decades of guidance and interpretation by Defendant/Respondent SED with respect to Education Law section 3635.

The State is arguing that grounds for reversal are that:

(1) the lower Court misinterpreted and misapplied Education Law section 3635 in concluding that that statute mandates that the District provide transportation to all non-public school students within the District on each day that the non-public schools are in session, regardless of whether the District's public schools are closed;

(2) the lower Court erred and abused its discretion in granting a summary judgment to the Petitioners-Plaintiff-Respondents despite their failure to comply with section 202.8-g of the Uniform Rules of the Court; and,

(3) the lower Court erred and abused its discretion in granting a summary judgment to the Petitioners-Plaintiff-Respondents despite their failure to file the pleadings in action as part of their motion for summary judgment.
