Illinois Supreme Court upholds buses for parochial pupils
The Illinois Supreme Court ruled that school boards may provide transportation to parochial school pupils without violating the 1970 constitution. The decision, upholding a Cook County circuit ruling, notes long-standing practice and rejects that busing breaches public funds rules. The ruling also allows the state superintendent's office to issue legal opinions to districts.
