From The New York Times: The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York has proposed closing 31 elementary schools and a high school next year in what church officials said was the largest school system reorganization in its history.

All have struggled for years with declining enrollment and increasing dependence on the Archdiocese for financial support.
