Florida Adds Another Hebrew Charter
Julie Weiner reports in the Jewish Week about another Ben Gamla school opening in Florida. This one, in Boynton, is the fourth Ben Gamla school & the 7th Hebrew Charter in the US. As usual there are various special interests trying to stop it.
How do we get these people to come up to Bergen County to show us how its done?

Of course not. Their website hasn't been updated in a year. See my previous post on that:

No one responded to it with any information. I don't know who the people are that voted on the poll that think it will open this September. I wish they would share with us why they think it will.

I find it rather disturbing that there has been no public communications. Many parents are very interested, just like parents down in Florida. However, we are so confused with the way this entire program is being handled.

Then silence, what was criticized as a "desperate recruiting effort" going around with open houses to get applications...
Then they opened, had some short classes and needed to consolidate, and people insisted it would fail...
Right or wrong, these things don't operate the way you expect them to coming from a private school. They need applicants, they have a potential list from last year, but they don't need you to be comfortable. They need to get their doors open with state approval, not run out of cash in year one, and operate going forward.
They don't cater to you the way a private school does.

With a charter school, where the state pays, as a parent, you are not a customer, you are the product.
Understand that, you'll understand the communication difference.
