From The New York Times: Last Wednesday was the final day for St. Martin of Tours Elementary School in New York City after 86 years. Pleas and plans to save the school were received and rejected by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Most of the 104 students at St. Martin’s will be scattered to other Catholic schools. St. Martin’s is among 26 archdiocesan elementary schools closing this month because of the shrinking enrollments and ballooning deficits the Catholic school system has been experiencing for decades.
