Joseph- There are so many schools within commuting distance that it should not be a problem. Did you look into schools in: Boro Park, Flatbush, New Jersey (I know its long but I have known people who have commuted longer), Long Island?

As far as I know, convenience does not fall into the category of “pikuach nefesh” when regarding schooling children. It does not get priority if it is just convenience.

I know people who commuted close to two hours to school. I know people who have boarded to go to any Jewish school because they lived so far away from the nearest Bais Yaakov or Yeshiva. They had little kids in their family, the parents had jobs ect and they still managed to do it. If there is a will, there is a way.

Were you advocating for a school to be built closer to them? Why only when you or people you know are affected are you so worried?

If the chasidish live in BP, and I assume they dont want the students from BYOBP, then why dont they help pay for some of the costs?
