Developments from Arkansas

http://arkansasmatters.com/fulltext?nxd_id=649242

Theres not much to talk about in the Great Lakes or New England regions, so we'll go further south in the Southeastern United States.

In Pine Bluff, AR, A catholic school by the name of "St Joseph" is closing at the end of this school year, or most likely the month of June. You would think that this Catholic School would close because of the lack of Catholics in places they aren't as populated as the Great Lakes or New England regions, but its the same cause again and again; low enrollment.

To be honest, this Catholic has the lowest number of students there in total, a shameful 42 from grades 5-12. Back in the year 2006, there was around 109 people enrolled there, and thats a very low number to begin with, but it decreased as there was no extra people to replace them.

Does this sound familiar?
