A lack of space and a lack of action from Jerusalem City Hall has left 35 girls in the Ramot area of the city without a classroom as the 5774 school year begins. Parents blame City Hall. According to a HaPeles report, there are 90 Ramat Bet area girls ages 3-to-5-years-old without classrooms. This is not the result of discrimination by any school but due to a lack of space.
Local askanim acted and Siyata Dishmaya they managed to rent two apartments which provide a solution for 55 girls. While the apartment solution is only temporary, it is something, but for the remaining 35, there is no visible solution available.
In City Hall, officials view the situation a bit differently, explaining the responsibility for the kindergartens is not the city’s but the private education network that operates them. The city rejects allegations from parents that there are available buildings but the city prefers to have them remain vacant. The city insists those so-called vacant buildings are indeed being used.
And finally, City Hall adds that while the private kindergartens are not the city’s responsibility, they are working towards assisting parents to find a solution.

Pressure should be brought to find a place immediately. It is not fair to the
Girls.
What about placing a article regarding the hundreds of students all over the Tri-Boroughs especially in Borough Park Brooklyn, not being allowed in to school because they are missing the Diarea or Chicken pox shot?
The principles are all ganging up and rejecting any student that’s not 100% up to date on their vaccination.
Where is the respect for a parent who has valid reason for not wanting to immunise for religious reasons. Every NYC Public School accepts “Religious Exemption Forms”, obviously the NYC Health Dept. don’t consider it dandrious for vaccinated children to sit next to students that aren’t, & if the kids are immunized what’s the issue if 1 or 2 kids aren’t. Why are these principles playing so tough? Why are they discriminating against parents who don’t want to immunise for Religious reasons? Who will be responsible for the next dose of Kids-At-Risk next week? There are so many good kids that are not registered to school because of this issue.
People are starting to realize that they are being fooled out there & that there’s another major side to your this issue.
Start researching & ask questions to your doctor before they drug up your loved ones. The doctors are following protocols & making a fortune from the Pharmaceutical Companies.
