Catholic schools face enrollment drop and rising costs
UPI reports that parochial enrollment in Catholic elementary and high schools is falling again as funding strains mount. Declining nun staff forces hiring of costly lay teachers, pushing operating costs up from 55 dollars per pupil in 1958 to 156 in 1968 and projected to 379 by 1972, with New York parochial schools forecast to run 30 million dollars in the red annually.
