Central Lutheran School posts Gofundme page to help keep it open – Twin Cities:
"The school was dealt another blow last summer when a systems malfunction caused government funding for toddlers and preschoolers to lag two months behind.
“It’s such a tightrope,” Wegner said. “The checks were coming late. We had to play catch-up.”
She estimates that the school is currently $350,000 in debt, of that, $127,000 is debt to vendors. Much of the rest is back pay to teachers and to Wegner, who said she often donates her entire paycheck so her teachers can get paid.
‘DOING SOMETHING NEW’
The option of closing down is something no one at Central Lutheran wants to consider. The staff is proud of the many opportunities they provide their students on a limited budget.
Pastor Nick Kooi from Emmaus Lutheran Church, which helps support the school, said he has been impressed with the dedication and creativity of the staff."
