32 Catholic schools in New York archdiocese targeted for closing

Nov. 10, 2010
Targeted schools have experienced declining enrollment

From The New York Times: The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York has proposed closing 31 elementary schools and a high school next year in what church officials said was the largest school system reorganization in its history. The schools proposed for shuttering -- described by the Archdiocese as “at risk,” pending last-minute appeals to school officials and outside donors -- stretch from New York City to several counties to the north. All have struggled for years with declining enrollment and increasing dependence on the Archdiocese for financial support.
