By creating a public school district for Kiryas Joel, New York State has endorsed the decision of the rebbe of the Satmar Hasidim that Hasidic children in need of special education may be educated only in this specially created "public school" rather than in the village's religious schools, which the rest of the children in Kiryas Joel attend, or in the special education programs provided by Orange County's public schools.
