The Commonwealth Court has ruled in a case of first impression that a school district is required under Pennsylvania’s Public School Code to provide a student whose parents are divorced or separated with bus transportation to and from separate stops near each parent’s home, even if they’re both located in the same district.
A three-judge panel in Watts v. Manheim Township School District upheld a Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas judge’s ruling issuing a permanent injunction against Manheim Township School District and directing it to resume bus transportation for a student to and from both his mother’s and father’s homes.
