The government unanimously approved a decision in principle
on Sunday to transfer special funding to cover Chinuch Atzmai
budget deficits in order to allow the educational network to
maintain its operations around the country.
Following a conversation last week with MK Rabbi Moshe Gafni,
Education Minister Yuli Tamir agreed to his request to
accelerate the funding transfer and instructed the ministry's
legal advisor to immediately prepare a proposal to present to
the government.
With the assistance of Government Secretary Yisroel Maimon,
the paragraph was added to the agenda of this week's cabinet
meeting. During the meeting the Education Minister said the
ongoing busing crisis at Chinuch Atzmai must come to an end
as soon as possible.
Chinuch Atzmai officials expressed hopes following the
government decision the funds would indeed be transferred to
allow the buses to continue bringing Chinuch Atzmai students
to school.
