Source? This is a piece of information that i need adspI spoke to a school administrator just now. He said it isn’t clear yet but highly unlikely parsonage would be included. Btw He said cross river bank is not letting schools put parsonage on the application.
You’re prob right, though for the most part the parents and the schools are on the same team-with the common goal of educating their kids. I’m sure there are some parents that are upset but afraid to open their mouths.
What happened on April 1 was from the largest geneives in our history, taking someone else’s money without a heter from beis din is assur.
Altogether.I would imagine major lasting changes to the cruise industry.
I don't see major lasting changes coming from this.
Did you sign a contract in the beginning of the year?I don't have any school aged kids.

If you had COVID19 and have recovered, you can help save a life of someone critically ill from COVID19.

then there is the ppp program that gives bigger loansThat don’t need to be paid back?
Tuition has never been about being fair. The model is to charge triple for each child with the understanding that those who can't come up with that much will negotiate down. Anyone who is unable to prove a shortfall or is unwilling to go through the audit process gets stuck with the inflated retail price.IINM the stimulus bill only grants $10,000 as forgivable. The rest must be paid back, at relatively low interest.
This situation is no different. The "halachik" ruling is already predetermined (parents must pay) and the only thing in question is how to write the brief that interprets halachik sources to defend that foregone conclusion. Then, the parents who are able to prove they cannot pay and are willing to open up their books will be let off the hook on an individual basis.
One last thing- the stimulus bill potentially grants a lot of money to yeshivos as forgivable loans to sustain payroll (assuming they wont fire staff). If/when yeshivos get this money I doubt even the most creative poskim could find justification for double dipping.
All right, utilities. You think they’re still heating and lighting the entire building?
If there is a specific program which would be a part of tuition that they are not providing then let us know. The existence of any such program remains to be shown. Note that not every program (a great example is the lunch program in some jurisdictions) is paid for by tuition. Some are paid for by government funding etc.
So now you feel that they do know what they are talking about? Or are they not the one you were referring to over here?
Why are you assuming that the halacha is not on their side? The Baltimore BD seems to feel it is.maybe you should consider going back to school. Read paragraph #2 in their letter.
ETA: Oh right, you for some reason decided that they don't know what they are talking about.
Basically my point over herethe COMMUNITY, NOT THE PARENTS.
It is not the responsibility of the rosh hamosad or the board to keep the school in existence but rather the resposibility of the parents/community. Are some expenses lower? Likely. They are not using just about all of the items you mentioned such asBut on the other hand, they can also be losing out on a significant amount of fundraising such as if they have a simcha hall etc.
The rabbeim all still need to be able to feed theor families. That too is the responsibility of the parents and not the administration.
I am not so sure that it all schools will be able to take advantage of all of the programs out there. Does all compensation make the school eligible for these grants or is it only payroll? Are they all under 500 employees? A school with a number of parallel classes can start getting close once you include support staff.
