you know what the problem is? every other say another school opens or people end up travelling elsewhere. i know of a very famous yeshiva here, where they b”H have expanded tremendously in the last few years. there were 4 classes with 26 kids now they are almost double that(and thats just preschool). whats the trick? amazing rebbes and morahs and of course….FUNDRAISING! if a school is closing they could have a terrible advocate who is trying to fundraise and they dont know what they are doing. it’s all about the PR. you gotta have a good reputation, not kick kids out just cuz they spoke to the opposite gender etc. i would never send my child to a school knowing that they kick kids out for stupid reasons.
at the same time this school that is expanding is i am sure im debt. but the parents give as much as they can and if people stopped having a million kids and paid tuition on time then maybe they wouldnt be have to not pay tuition and be on time with payments. oh and actually pay teachers more money and on time!
