    Sister,
    I enjoyed your presentation and paper very much. I liked how you seamlessly integrated the theory not only in your research but also in your plan of action. It seemed so well thought out – sound in theory and applicability. I look forward to hearing about how the process goes at your school.

    Sister Yamila,
    The low enrollment of students seems to be a serious problem. Even if it an economic problem, we need to try to control or minimize the situation. You need to start to use social media as advertising since the research shown it could work.

    Sister,
    Thank you for sharing your plans with us, first of all. To me, the concept of private Catholic schools is very new. In my country, all schools are either affiliated with the Catholic or the Protestant church. It is sad that you basically have to have sufficient financial means to send your child to a Catholic school. If you are poor but believe in Catholic schooling, you basically have no choice.

    Reading this makes me think of the reasons so many schools have looked to different foundations for assistance. The dwindling enrollment numbers hurt the bottom line and the schools have to make cuts as a result. Too many cuts and the school is no longer functional, so they look to bridge that financial gap by allowing foundations to assist. When they do assist, they want a bit of control or influence. Over time, the loss of control may grow and the values and traditions change. It’s a slippery slope but understandable when talking about keeping the doors open providing catholic education to your students.
