A 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel revived a lawsuit filed by Orthodox Jewish families that sued California education officials over the state's policy of refusing to fund special education programs at religious schools.

For decades in California , those dollars have only been permitted to go to schools that are nonsectarian.

The panel's decision sends the case back for reconsideration to a federal court that had previously rejected it.
