It's difficult to guess what the order states without looking at the entire section.

In general, at least, when a parent obtains decision making authority regarding the child's education, he or she can decide which school the child will attend.

Of course, the context of the order and the exact wording of the order may change this general answer. You should take the order to a local family law attorney to obtain clarification.
