Catholic Diocese Of Camden, NJ Looking To Improve Things At Schools Under Its Control
By David Madden
CAMDEN, NJ (CBS) -- The bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Camden wants a group of experts to map out the future of church based education in South Jersey.
There are a half of a dozen high schools and 28 grade schools from Camden to Cape May, with just under 13,000 students.
Bishop Dennis Sullivan wants Superintendent Mary Boyle and 18 others to come up with ideas by next June.
Diocesan spokesman Peter Feuerherd says, "The commission is intended to look at Catholic schools as a whole, to see where we're going and what we can do better. And it has experts from education, finance, legal, investments, all these issues that impact on Catholic schools."
Feuerherd insists the panel has not been given marching orders to find schools to close, although he cannot rule out the possibility the panel may come up with a recommended list.
