(Côte St. Luc, QC) November 8th, 2011—JPPS- Bialik announced today that it has decided not to pursue a merger between the two institutions at this time. 

"While the concept of the merger has much merit and deserved to be explored, after much consultation, feedback and consideration, we have determined that our singular focus at this juncture should be on strengthening our own schools and securing their future," said Neil Creme, Co-president, JPPS- Bialik. "We believe this is the best path to a vibrant Jewish day school system for the benefit of our own school community, as well as for the Montreal Jewish community generally," continued JPPS - Bialik Co-president, David J. Shapiro.
