[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really hope they stay open.  Our liberal Catholic family doesn't feel comfortable with other parish schools, so it fills a niche.  We will go public or independent otherwise.  There is also a significant population of students with learning differences (and a significant population without -- it's a true mix).  I really feel like shutting down with less than a year notice to families with kids with learning differences especially is cruel and harmful to those kids.[/quote]

There were other welcoming schools.  Many are not from what we looked at but Holy Cross was.  They have a resource teacher and more.[/quote]

That's the one I've come across so far (that's at all geographically reasonable).  But I seriously doubt Holy Cross can take this many kids.  
It's really unconscionable that they told parents about this possibility at Halloween.  Not even a couple-year wind-down period so the kids can be transitioned out and find the right schools in a decent amount of time. I've struggled to maintain my faith in the church during these last few years, but here we are once again seeing that the church doesn't care about kids.  [/quote]

They cannot take that many but its an option for some.  We looked at several and Holy Cross was the only one I'd considerer felt comfortable with.  They were the most flexible on religion and opinions outside Catholicism and seemed like they'd handle questions well.  The church has not changed.  It has its clear focus and purpose.  But, what the church schools offer over public is a much better curriculum and textbooks which is why we considered them.  Mine didn't want to change schools but I wish we did.

I think one issue with St. Bart's is the location.  It was recommended to us by several people but the distance is not something that was doable for us.[/quote]
