NY and NJ State laws states that their can be no discrimination in paying for both public and private schools children’s bussing. Both must be paid by the government, for eligible children, per State law. State law further states that if the local government pays for public school courtesy bussing (and public school children use courtesy bussing more than private school children since they tend to live closer to the public school they attend), then the law requires equality in paying private schoolchildren’s bussing.
