I agree with squeak, the books should be open and yeshivas should have committees and conferences to discuss issues and how to deal with them to make the finances flow better. The problem is that Yeshivas feel it is NOT the parent body’s business how they run the school nor how the money is spent. And right there is a huge problem! I am not saying that every parent should walk into the office and have a look at the books. But maybe the parents should elect the working committee who works with the Board and Yeshiva administration and those parents should be able to review the books and the issues and report back to the PTA and parent body on what the Yeshiva is doing and what the Parent body needs to do.
