1. NY town OKs all-boys Muslim school in residential nabe — but 120 students can't stay overnight (nypost.com) — Bay Shore residents just saw a major zoning reversal: an all-boys Muslim school approved for a former waterfront Catholic campus will no longer be allowed to board 120 students overnight next to a senior community. The Islip Zoning Board's 3-1 vote means the school can open for daytime classes only, after months of heated neighborhood debate over noise, traffic, and the dormitory plan.
