A controversial all-boys Muslim school that sparked massive backlash over plans to house 120 teens next door to a senior living community will no longer be allowed to board its students. The town of Islip’s zoning board on Tuesday reversed a previous decision to allow The United American Muslim Association’s new school in Bay Shore to house the boys in a dormitory on campus — after being grilled by residents for five-straight hours in a July meeting, a spokesperson for the board told The Post. “The Zoning Board of Appeals voted 3-1 to reverse the Building Division’s interpretation and determined that the proposed boarding component… is not a permitted accessory use to the parochial school under the Town’s zoning code,” the board said.
