Many of the yeshivas have their own school buses and if they have the contract to bring their students to school the courtesy school bus students could still be picked up, the yeshiva just wouldn’t be paid for them. For example if there are 8,000 courtesy students and there are 100 yeshiva in Lakewood if each yeshiva swaps 80 students from the other yeshiva and now the students are 2.5 mile from their new school every student is mandated and entitled to free busing.
The same problem is going to happen next year unless the state changes how they fund yeshiva busing. They can’t cut busing because it’s mandated & Special ed .require an Administrative Judge and a hearing to cut.
