"Now that litigation has concluded, the city will develop rules of the road that respect the rights of both religious groups and nonparticipants," the mayor's spokesman told RNS.

The New York City Board of Education reportedly said it had opposed churches from renting space in city-owned buildings so as to not violate the so-called "separation of church and state." But Mayor de Blasio has said he wants to allow congregations the same access as any other group. Earlier this year, the de Blasio administration decided to permit preschool classes to break in the middle of the day for prayer or religious instruction.
