Kadima Hebrew Academy, a conservative day school in the LA area, recently announced lower tuition rates for the 2009-2010 school year. Through a partnership of parents and donors subsidizing the cut, yearly costs for students in grades K-8 would be reduced between 19 and 22 percent. This step was taken to meet a threatened enrollment decline as a result of the financial meltdown affecting many Jewish families. The school administration is hoping that the tuition cut would help to stem student attrition.
