I TRENDS 1 Reform Judaism Day Schools On The Rise New York — Just two years after Reform Judaism endors- ed the concept of full-time Jewish education, Reform day schools are flourishing throughout North America, according to a survey releas- ed by the Commission on Jewish Education of Reform Judaism. The survey offers a demographic profile of the 2,146 elementary school students in ten Reform day schools in the U.S. The growth of these schools reflects a dramatic reversal in Reform policy, which had historically opposed full-time Jewish education. At its bien- nial convention in Los Angeles in 1985, the Union of American Hebrew Congrega- tions reversed this long- standing policy, voting to sup- port the development of Reform day schools. This sup- port in no way, however, diminished Reform Judaism's support of public education and its commitment to the separation of religion and state according to UAHC. Of the students, 68 percent are affiliated with the school's sponsoring Reform synagogue; 2.6 percent with other Reform congregations; 16 percent with Conservative or Orthodox synagogues, and 13.4 percent have no synagogue affiliation. A low student-teacher ratio is maintained, with the schools surveyed reporting an average of one teacher for each 10.9 pupils. These teachers earn a mean star- ting salary of $17,260, somewhat below the $20,980 mean starting salary of public school teachers in their respective communities. On the other end of the spectrum, however, the mean high salary of $26,791 compared favorably with that of the their public school counter- parts, who averaged $25,300. Almost all of the schools studied require that teachers of "secular" subjects be cer- tified by the state department of education; but only half in- sist that teachers of Judaic studies be. licensed by the local bureau of Jewish education.
