The U.S. Supreme Court granted a temporary reprieve on Monday in the long- running battle over a New York state school district created for Orthodox Jews with learning disabilities. Acting on an emergency appeal after New York’s highest court ordered tha???the school for Satmar Chasidim in the upstate village of Kiryas Joel be closed, the justices agreed to meet later this summer to decide whether the high court will hear the appeal. If the court takes the case, the school will likely be allowed to remain open through the 1999-2000 school year.
