"Catholic school recruitment adding up"

read all about it @ http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=518035




"Catholic school officials in Berks County are bringing in the sheaves, but not in the conventional way.Using advertising, along with tuition and tax incentives, in the past two years Catholic schools in Berks and across the five-county Diocese of Allentown have seen modest increases in enrollment.

An increase of about 0.5 percent might not seem like much, but after 15 years of declining enrollment, even modest gains are welcome, said diocese spokesman Matt Kerr.

Enrollment in the diocese's 36 elementary schools, seven high schools and three special learning centers totals 12,419. Allentown is the only one of Pennsylvania's eight dioceses to see school enrollment increase in each of the last two years."
