Catholic schools consolidating

From the Cincinnati Enquirer:

Superintendent: Collaboration is the key to Survival

Two or more schools coming together to form a new school is the wave of the future as Catholic schools look for ways to survive as they struggle with dwindling enrollments and finances.
"I see collaboration as the key," said Brother Joe Kamis, superintendent of schools for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. "More and more parishes will be doing this, and are actually doing this."

For example, Springfield already has an interparish school consisting of four schools rolled into one K-12 school and governed by a unified board. Parishes in the St. Lawrence Deanery on the West Side have been looking for more than a year at ways to collaborate, Kamis said.

St. John the Evangelist and Holy Trinity were among six Archdiocese of Cincinnati elementary schools that were in danger of closing.
