I'm not sure who Renee is (I may have missed that post), but Mitzi posted about her school, Makif Amit in Beer Sheva. I have seen a similar setup at Ort Arad and something similar being built (it may be finished already) at Makif Zain (an Amal school) in Beer Sheva. There ARE schools that provide reasonable accommodations (and all of the ones I've seen are in the Negev). Sadly, my own school is not one of them. I believe that most of these schools belong to Amal and Ort and Amit, as opposed to the municipalities.
