As increases in day school tuition continue to significantly outpace inflation, innovative schools and communities are making dynamic change in the field to address this critical need, and other challenges to making Jewish education affordable for all. This panel reviews the state of the field, looking closely at a multi-school pilot project in L.A., and the efforts underway nationally and locally that are changing the culture of Jewish day school to increase resources and drive sustainability. We'll explore community funds, endowments, blended learning, and interventions to address the squeeze felt by middle-income families.
