Note that the Jewish Communities in the US running schools and libraries are often doing it using Tax dollars and public services. I can’t guaranty that they are run more cheaply than local government run libraries and schools and they certainly don’t offer the same products/services/technology.

Our town provides the school bus transportation for students in religious day schools. We provide the Special Education and Physical Education for them as well. We even pay for and provide textbooks for secular subjects. We clean the snow from their sidewalks in winter, we provide fire and police service. Our health department provides the school nurses and does immunizations and eye screenings…all at no charge to the Jewish community.

AND>>>before you say the Jewish community members are paying taxes and not using the public schools. That doesn’t hold OOT. Jewish Day and other Parochial schools are regional. The local day school draws 80% of its students from outside the municipality who foots these expenses from local property tax. There is no ‘school tax’ in Connecticut.
