Broader use of funds

By Steve Krafchick, , Seattle

If what John Rothschild reports is truly the admissions policy of the [day schools], then I want to weigh in and support John’s call for the Federation cutting funding to these schools. The schools subject to those admission policies can only serve a very small portion of the Jewish population in Seattle while discriminating against a large number of Jewish families and children wanting that type of education. No Christian school that I know of has such a restrictive and discriminatory admissions policy. The Federation should be able to find broader use of their funds to aid a broader community of Jews in Seattle.
