"Slate Belt's Pius X, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic schools closing"

http://www.mcall.com/news/breaking/mc-pius-x-closing-20150116-story.html

"Pius X Junior/Senior High School in Bangor and Our Lady of Mount Carmel School in Roseto will close at the end of the school year, victims of declining enrollment and increasing costs, the Catholic Diocese of Allentown announced Friday afternoon.
Immaculate Conception School in Pen Argyl, meanwhile, will add seventh and eighth grades next year to accommodate displaced students.


In a statement, the diocese said enrollment at Pius X has declined almost 43 percent since 2011 and is now just 165 students in Grades 7 through 12. Enrollment projections for next year estimated a further decline to 150 students.


The school expects to end the fiscal year with an operating debt of $1.2 million, the statement said. This doesn't include a diocesan subsidy of more than $1 million since the 2009-10 school year."
