Most of the remaining 21 Lakewood primary girls who were still not placed in schools have now been placed, Askonim told TLS on Motzei Shabbos.

Last week, TLS exclusively reported that there was talk amongst the Roshei Yeshiva and Askonim to keep girls elementary schools shut unless the students were placed.

B”H, the schools took the announcement very seriously, and significant movement and progress has since been made.

According to Askonim involved in the process, the number of girls who remained without placements had previously stood at approximately 60. Through extensive efforts by Askonim working directly with the schools, that number was reduced to 21.

As of the latest update, approximately six girls remain without school placements, marking major progress in the effort to ensure that every girl has a place in a school.
