NY Private School Pleads for Donors to Stay Open After Declaring Bankruptcy

22-05-2025

Manhattan Country School and a little-known foundation called Casa Laxmi are asking for donations to make payroll and keep the school open until graduation on June 12, according to Kiran Kulkarni, Casa Laxmi's chief executive officer and chairman of the school's board.
