Bell, B., Aplts. v. Wilkinsburg SD

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held that Section 1726‑A(a) of the Charter School Law does not require a school district to provide the same mode of transportation to charter‑school students as it provides to its own students, and therefore affirmed the Commonwealth Court’s order. The Court based its decision on a plain‑text reading of the statute, finding the language unambiguous and rejecting the plaintiffs’ equal‑protection argument.
