What is it with girls' high schools?

They waited until July to do this. The board of HAFTR refused to continue to fund Shalhevet, the girls' high school that Rabbi Friedman of RAMBAM (and now Machon Hatorah, which includes HAFTR) opened just last year in Lawrence. See shalhevet-hs-funding-endedThis is not quite as late a declaration as the closing of Reenas that occurred a few years ago. That was only announced days before school was set to open in September. And we are well aware that even a long-established school, Shulamith, set itself up to dissolve the high school by not opening a ninth grade this year. Now I know that these issues all boil down to money clashes, but it is remarkable that the girls are the ones always left without. I haven't heard of sudden shut downs of boys schools.
