In 2011, Ronald J. Tomalis, the Secretary of Education of Pennsylvania, ruled in favor of the Riegelsville Tax and Education Coalition by stating that the group's request is related to education quality. The previous secretary had ruled against the group.[5] Clyde Waite, a judge in Bucks County approved the plan in 2012. Riegelsville was to be an independent school district for a period between it being part of two different school districts.[6] The Pennsylvania Department of Education approved the moving of districts in July 2012. The change was to be effective in 2013. Around 60 students were to be moved to the Palisades district.[7] To cover the student transfer, the Palisades district gave $1,400,000 to the Easton Area school district.[8]
