DaMoshe
A government agency can not discriminate based on religious believes. Example if an employer previously allowed employees to take off Saturday and then required an employee to work on Saturday and he claimed religious observance and was fired. The employer even if it is not a governmental agency is in violation of the civil rights act and he gets his job backed plus loss pay. Even if the employer never let new employees off on Saturday if they don’t try to accommodate the Sabbath observer they are violating his civil rights. In this case since the monitor could have combined two bus routes with two schools that have the same sex student body and didn’t but used co-ed busing to deny the yeshiva students of bus rides he is in violation of the yeshiva students civil rights. With governmental agencies the bar is higher as to what is considered accommodating. Only a judge can rule if co-ed busing is a civil rights violation. If found guilty of civil rights violations the state and district can lose federal aid besides the states ability to take over and override an elected school board which may also be a voting rights violation which is also a civil right violation. The judge may rule that $884 compensation per student negates the civil rights violation. Similar to a positive command negates a negative command in Jewish law. If one committed a negative command which one could receive lashes if he does the positive command he can be absolved of the negative law lashing.
