First of all BP Totty You should only comment based on facts not just on outdated information. I happen to personally know the financial situation in BYBP. BYBP has never missed a payroll and charged way below average tuition. The recent ongoing financial crisis has hit BYBP very hard. As of now the tuition income is 75 percent less than the usual income at this crucial point of the year. Some Donors who have pledged to contribute to their desperately needed new building have disappointed and left BYBP saddled with a huge mortgage. Government aid has decreased in this financial crisis leaving BYBP with less money then ever before. BYBP have been forced to make cuts to their payroll and some programs in these hard times. BYBP launched a fundraising campaign last year that while some responded generously It did little to rescue BYBP from their crisis. In these difficult times The way we can help is making BYBP our #1 Tzedakah. The school that is currently or has taught your child should be your Tzedakah moneys first destination, Before contributing to some out of town Tzedakah or other organizations that are not as desperate for your money. Instead of criticizing and pointing fingers we can all contribute to this school that has been the pillar of our daughters chinuch for over 70 years. We can take a look at our values and priorities and make paying tuition our priority before we spend on any luxuries. We can also take some time to Thank Rabbi Shapiro for his tireless efforts upon the schools behalf.
