A portion of the article has further aggravated parent groups pursuing independent school options, as well as those seeking honest and open communication from the Diocese. It reads, "[Spokesperson Doug] Mandelaro said the diocese hasn't received any requests to lease space from potential schools that would be operated outside of the diocesan system. He said any decisions about leasing buildings to independent schools with a Catholic curriculum would be made by the pastors or pastoral assistants, with input from the diocese."
As one reader notes in the D&C comment section, this is a "flat out lie or carefully crafted misdirection. There have been requests for at least three different independent Catholic schools, all of which have been refused."
If your school has pursued this path and yet has been denied based on Diocesan "input," contact D&C reporter Erica Bryant via e-mail by clicking here.
