          Both schools earned accreditation for 6 years, which is the                 
          maximum period of accreditation awarded by WASC.                            
               2.   Emek                                                              
                    a.   General                                                      
               In 1995, Emek believed its foremost goal was to help its               
          students develop a devotion to Jewish heritage and values.  Emek            
          sought to provide a thorough and well-balanced curriculum in both           
          Torah and secular studies so every student could succeed, upon              
          eighth grade graduation, in the most rigorous yeshiva high                  
          schools and other institutions of higher learning.                          
               Boys and girls had separate classes, lunch, and recess at              
          Emek because of Orthodox Jewish religious considerations.                   
                    b.   Religious Studies                                            
               The religious courses and periods of instruction at Emek               
          were virtually the same for both of the school years in issue.              
          On Monday through Thursday, boys had prayers from 8 to 9 a.m. and           
          religious classes from 9 a.m. to 12:20 p.m.  The school day was             
          compressed on Friday to permit an early dismissal so that the               
          students could be home in time for the Sabbath (which begins on             
          Friday at sunset).  On Friday, boys had religious classes from 9            
          to 11:40 a.m.                                                               
               Girls had morning prayers each day from 8:15 to 9 a.m.  On             
          Monday through Thursday, girls had four periods of Judaic studies           
          and afternoon prayers from 1 to 4:30 p.m.  On Friday, girls had
