Budget gap leaves 10 special needs first-graders out of school

Ten special needs schoolgirls in Ashdod are unable to go to school because the local school system lacks the funds to pay for their classroom.

According to Israel Radio, the girls, who were supposed to begin first grade on September 1, were told only days before the start of the school year that they would not start the school year with the rest of the country’s schoolchildren.

The Education Ministry says it is making an effort to find a solution for the girls.
