Penfield Post: Some Area Catholic Schools to Bulk Up

The Penfield Post reports on Monroe County Catholic Schools having to increase their class sizes to deal with the forced relocation of students.

"In January, Bishop Matthew Clark of the Diocese of Rochester announced the diocese would close 13 area Catholic schools in June, citing a sharp decline in enrollment and a significant budget shortfall. At the time of Clark’s announcement, diocese officials estimated that 48 percent of the students enrolled in the closing schools would enroll in other Catholic schools. However, those figures appear to be drastically underestimated."
