I am not sure if the school uses public funding. They do use the Allentown School district for bussing. I wonder if that counts.

No busing is required to be provided by state law within a 10 mile radius from home and school.

Most private schools especially catholic dont take fed dollars and like most private organizations they would be exempt from the same laws that the public schools are required to follow. Im actually surprised they allowed anyone in attendance with a disability years ago they wouldnt nor any with learning disabilities.

If they're not paying the district a commensurate rate for those services, they could be opening themselves up to Title IX liability unintentionally.

I'm not a lawyer but as others have, including at least one lawyer, I would recommend you get a lawyer with experience in this area because they will know all the things or know which things to look at to find the things they don't know things about.

There's a lot of things. Get a lawyer.
