School Board Unlawfully Refuses To Transport Kids to Christian School
[ACLJ Client] v. Board of Education of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills
A city in New Jersey is REFUSING to transport kids on the bus to Christian schools in direct violation of state law. Teachers unions and radical Left bureaucrats hate school choice and will do anything to undermine parents’ rights.
At the ACLJ, we’re launching a major School Choice Initiative to ensure that every state in the country allows parents to choose the school they believe will provide their kids the best education – whether it’s a private, religious, charter, homeschool, or public school – regardless of economic standing.
The ACLJ filed a lawsuit on behalf of parents and their right to choose their children’s education in the New Jersey Administrative Court. The Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education is attacking that right by refusing to transport our client's daughter to a Christian school as mandated by New Jersey law. The district claimed the Christian school was more than 20 miles from the family’s home – the maximum distance for eligibility under state statute. We filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on behalf of our client to force the district to follow the law and uphold parental rights and school choice.
