[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve seen that. It’s the kind of thing that happens from time to time in parish schools and in k-8s. It just takes a few parents who are mad at the parish priest for being too conservative or liberal or think their 3rd grade boy doesn’t have enough good soccer players in their grade and “needs athletic peers” or someone whose fraternity brother is talking about how much better St. Whoever’s HS admissions results are. And sometimes it’s driven by adult socializing and clannishness. Then suddenly 3 families are moving each with 3 kids and then 3 more and before you know it a few grades have lost a bunch of kids and siblings. It wasn’t as common when I was a kid because people were more tied to parishes and priests stuck around forever and so the vibe of a school didn’t change from year to year.

A lot of this is way too personal for leadership to even address. [/quote]

So the family would presumably begin attending Mass at the new further away school/church too?[/quote]

Ha. Briefly and for long enough to be considered for admission, and/or they just do double envelopes and call it a day. I say this as someone from a long line of double envelope people…[/quote]
