SEARCHA New York district provided separate transportation for local Amish children last school year but stopped in the fall. Amish parents say they don’t want their kids to be influenced by mainstream culture, but district officials say giving them special bus runs is costly and sets a bad precedent.

The Marathon Central School District has offered to bus Amish students with non-Amish students, but Amish parents say they don’t want their kids to be influenced by mainstream culture — and they need later transportation because of farm chores.
District officials say that giving Amish students special bus runs is costly and sets a bad precedent.
