More news about that Dreadful Number

http://www.cardinalnewmansociety.org/CatholicEducationDaily/DetailsPage/tabid/102/ArticleID/2088/Annual-Report-Shows-Continued-Catholic-Schools-Decrease.aspx

"The past four decades have seen a significant decrease in the total number of Catholic schools. Catholic school enrollment reached its peak in the early 1960s with an enrollment of more than 5.2 million in nearly 13,000 schools. By 1990, there were 2.5 million students in 8,719 schools. Between 1990 through 2000, there was a steady enrollment increase despite continued school closings. Between 2000 and 2013, 2,090 schools were reported closed or consolidated, and the number of students declined by 24.5 percent." - cardinalnewmansociety.org
 
As far as I'm concerned, it would seem that people are now paying closer attention to our ranks than they were several years ago. Now if we were to enact change on this, then we can see some big results in the long run.
