February 15, 197741 N.Y.2d 283
Summary
The Court interpreted paragraph a of subdivision 5 of section 3202 of the Education Law to require that the school district where a foster child resided at the time a social services district or state agency assumed support and maintenance bear the cost of instruction, with continued liability for any district that had assumed tuition costs before Jan. 1, 1974, and rejected the challengers' constitutional claims, holding they lacked standing to assert due process or equal protection challenges.
