I saw they are planning to charter Catholic schools in NY.

I can only imagine that the folks that are having difficulty are probably pulling their kids in such great numbers that they might soon overrun the public school system.

I bet the gubermnint is begging them to take the charter cash!

I hope that they don’t do it, but I doubt they will. If the Catholic schools do cave in to the charter plan I at least hope that they hold out for piles of money!! They probably won’t be able to teach religion.

Parish schools in many NYC neighborhoods are in bad shape. The parishioners of today are not the parishioners of years ago who payed to build and maintain those schools. I attended my school from the day it opened in ‘53. The diocese closed it a few years ago. The attendance was there, but not the $$$.
