(Cleveland Jewish News)
Mosdos Ohr Hatorah, an Orthodox Jewish day school based in Cleveland Heights, is about $14 million in debt and has applied for a judicial dissolution in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, a lawyer representing the school said.
Unable to operate on the basis of tuition and fundraising, the school instead relied on debt financing.
Harry Brown, a partner in the Cleveland-based Benesch, Friedlander, Coplan & Aronoff law firm, said the school of 508 students from preschool through grade 12 is not in danger of closing at this time. He said the boys’ school, at 1508 Warrensville Center Road, is scheduled to open Aug. 18, and the girls’ division, at 1700 S. Taylor Road, is slated for a Sept. 1 opening.
