The Archdiocese of Chicago has announced that it will close a half-dozen schools at the end of the current school year.
Officials blamed low enrollment at the schools for the decision, which will be implemented at the conclusion of the school year this summer.
“We made these decisions with heavy hearts after months of discussions with each school. We know the importance of these schools in each community. Unfortunately, the enrollment of each school is too low, and the ongoing deficits are too high,” Greg Richmond, superintendent of schools for the Archdiocese said in a statement. “Many people have worked hard at each school to raise money and try to boost enrollment. We recognize and value those efforts but, in the end, the schools were not able to close the gaps and they are no longer sustainable.”
According to officials, the following schools in the Chicago area will close:
-Our Lady of Humility (Beach Park)
-Sts. Bruno and Richard (Chicago)
-St. Hubert (Hoffman Estates)
-St. Jerome (Chicago)
-St. Francis Borgia (Chicago)
-St. Stanislaus Kostka (Chicago)
Officials say they will assist affected families with enrolling in other schools, and will assist teachers and staff in finding employment at other schools in the Archdiocese.
