I was totally shocked by this news! If I am correct, I think Rabbi Shapiro has been running BYBP for about 30 years. I am sure that he shows the same care and devotion with each parent and child as he does with my kids that are there now.
It was always a pleasure dealing with him and he is definitely irreplaceable.
My wife and I have already begun looking into other schools to send our children to next year. If a school can manage to lose its most valuable asset, that is not the place for my children.
Shame on the Board of BYBP and anyone else who was involved with causing him to make this decision to leave.
