The ILAN disability organization, Beit Issie Shapiro, and a coalition of parents of special-needs children petitioned Israel's High Court of Justice demanding flexible second transportation for children with physical disabilities, arguing the Education Ministry's refusal violates their legal right and prevents full social participation and parental employment.
A coalition of disability rights organizations and parent groups petitioned Israel's High Court of Justice on Tuesday, demanding that the Education Ministry provide flexible second-transportation options for children with physical disabilities. The petition, filed by ILAN (Israel Foundation for Handicapped Children), Beit Issie Shapiro, and a parents' coalition, argues that current policy forces families to choose between a child's after-school activities and a parent's ability to work. The petitioners describe the Education Ministry's refusal to allow parents to shift the second ride from the end of the school day to the end of an after-school program as 'absurd' and a violation of the children's legal rights under Israeli law. The case highlights a longstanding advocacy effort by disability organizations to align education policy with accessibility and employment realities for families of children with special needs.
