Two families are suing the Cold Spring Harbor and Franklin Square schools because their children are prohibited from attending school due to a lack of valid immunization records.
The lawsuits came after the state Health Department told school districts that Jeanette Breen, a Baldwin midwife, falsified vaccination records for almost 1,500 children in the state.
The families are seeking a court order that would allow their children to return to their classrooms.
