Children of Hasidic families do not attend public schools. Despite that they take control of school boards to shift resources to their own community Yeshivas mostly to finance special needs kids of which there is a large number of in the Hasidic community due to inbreeding.

I think you’ve confused us with your family.
I went and looked for what's going on. Found This article about an ultra-orthodox-dominated district in NY.
Apparently, the ultra-orthodox politically control the school district, cut budgets to keep property taxes low (the orthodox send their kids to Yeshivas) and much of the "special needs education" funding goes to jewish kids in Yeshivas. Now, whether the kids are really special needs, or just claim to be special needs (with their special needs only being addressable in the Yeshiva schools) is another story.
