The NY Times reported a U.S. Supreme Court decision of July 1, 1985, forbidding public school teachers entering parochial schools to offer Title 1 remedial programs. I think this is what caused the New York Bus Service to get into the portable classroom business. For a few years, the NYBS classrooms could be found on streets near parish schools or in some school yards. That is, the parochial students would be brought out to the portable classroom for the Title 1 classes so the teacher would not have to enter the church-sponsored school. I think these rooms had air-conditioning units in addition to power and heat. They were painted for NYBS.The article linked below does not mention New York Bus Service. --- I do not know how these services are provided today. |
