Their Private Catholic School will close at the end of this school years because of declining enrollment.
I'm sad.
I'm sure they will be fine at the public school, but this one just works so well for them. |

That sucks. I would be sad if my kid's school closed too.
Now, what are you going to do with that tuition money?

That's too bad. I went through 6th grade, I swear I was learning things in college classes that I had learned in 5th grade. It was a good school environment. Oh well on the bright side, you might get to avoid the $40 jumpers  Yes, and buy $40 jeans.  |

 Two more souls lost from the Catholic faith.

That's really sad; I'm a firm believer in competition for the public schools (although it's not exactly fair competition since the public schools have a monopoly on your tax money and you just have the "choice" of paying for school a second time if you send your kid elsewhere). I sent donations to DS' private school long after he graduated, and still send donations to my Roman Catholic HS even though I'm now an Episcopalian.
My parents go to a mega-church in North Myrtle Beach and the diocese bought a failing parochial school from the Methodists with grandiose ideas that somehow they'd make a go of it. Instead, the mega-church is being tapped to help with the negative cash flow, to the tune of millions of dollars a year.

Will some of their buddies be coming over to their new school with them? I think so. |

They are not having special ed for my great niece next year in her current school. Now mom lives 5 minutes from work and school is on the way, dad or brother can pick her up. Next year drive 30 to school then back 30 to work and nobody to help with her after school, dad too far, brother off in college.
She is selling her house and buying a town house nearer the new school. Partly with boy off to college she doesn't have him to help with maintaining a house but mostly to save money since house is really expensive and way too much work. Good part is her ex is mad about her moving, claims he won't ever see his kids. Boy has car can see dad anytime turning 18 Saturday so no visitation, girl sees him Wednesday and every other weekend it is only 30 minutes away they will figure it out.
