      what is the board doing they are just trying to get their family and friends in for cheaper. I even hear that a teacher left for 2 months and got paid because she has friends on the board

  • hoodwinked

    actually it is because we as a community were all hoodwinked and lied to by AS. The board was never legally installed and the teachers have not been paid since the two checks that they so publicly chest thumped about.

  • To "hoodwinked":

    Beis rivkah is doing an absolutly amazing job this year!
    As a teacher, I can proudly say I was paid a few checks so far. Thank you Beis Rivka!
