The following clip comes from The Pottstown Mercury: PHILADELPHIA -- The appeal Sacred Heart School in Royersford filed with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia has failed. In a morning press conference, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput announced the results of 24 appeals made by schools. Eighteen of the proposals of the Blue Ribbon Review Committee were altered, but Sacred Heart was not on that list. The school remains on the list to close, along with St. Eleanor School in Collegeville. The two are slated to merge into a new school at the St. Eleanor site.

UPDATED 1/6/11 @ 4:20 p.m. According to the full report from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia at www.faithinthefuture.com, Sacred Heart Elementary in Royersford will be closing and sending its enrollment of 189 students to St. Eleanor in Collegeville. The website states: Currently there are 156 elementary and/or regional schools. Approximately 40 to 45 of them cannot be sustained, burdened by serious annual operating deficits often in parishes with heavy accumulated debts. Most of those schools have small enrollments and do not offer the key elements of a 21st century curriculum. A detailed review of these challenged schools reveals 34 schools have enrollments fewer than 200 and of these, 14 have fewer than 150. Eleven other schools across …
