Purpose of the Steering Committee
Is not to close schools or force consolidation. Nor are there any plans to make any changes for the 2018-2019 school year.
- Conduct fact finding, examine trends to understand the past and current
realities of Catholic education
- Research recent collaborative efforts amongst parishes and schools
within the Archdiocese of St. Louis
- Explore new options for collaboration / cooperation amongst area
parishes and schools
- Make formal recommendations to pastors to proactively keep Catholic
education affordable and sustainable
- Consider how we might enhance other religious formation programs
within our parishes
04/30/2018 | 3
Steering Committee Membership
Pastors selected up to two parishioners to represent each parish or school
- Selection based on a strong history of support of Catholic education,
stewardship, leadership, and volunteerism within their individual parish and the Washington community
- Pastors also considered the candidate’s ability to take a long-term,
- bjective outlook and approach to preserving Catholic education
- School principals and faculty were not considered for the Steering
- Committee. By virtue of their positions, there could be an inherent
conflict of interest.
- Principals, faculty, and staff could be involved if and when any changes
are implemented

The Demographic and Financial Trends Cannot Be Ignored
The Stark Realities…
- The number of Catholic school-age children is decreasing
- r is level at best
- Total enrollment in our Catholic schools has been trending downward
for 10 straight years
- The cost to educate and the cost of tuition continue to rise
- The trends in parish subsidies to the schools is unsustainable
- We must also be attentive of the other responsibilities and ministries of
the parish and be good stewards of the parishes’ resources

Regional Collaboration Concepts
Our parish families are running regional schools in a parish school model
- Parishioners and students cross historical parish boundaries
- Regional Concepts have been implemented in other communities
in the St. Louis Archdiocese
- Steering Committee has been exploring formalizing a Regional Concept
04/30/2018 | 35
Key Values of Any Regional Collaboration Efforts
- Fundamentally Catholic
- Exceptional Quality
- Affordable
- Sustainable
- Maintain Parish Identity / Tradition / Heritage
- Maintain Local Parish / Pastor Involvement
- Unified in Our Approach
- Ability to Implement Changes in Phases
04/30/2018 | 36
The Federation Model
- Individual parish school structure is maintained
- Finances are held separate
- Schools collaborate under a formal agreement
- Cooperative purchasing power, professional development
- Some limited shared resources
- Shared marketing
- Example is ten schools
in North County
- Limited financial benefit
Federation Agreement
Pastor Principal Parish Board of Ed Pastor Principal Parish Board of Ed Pastor Principal Parish Board of Ed Pastor Principal Parish Board of Ed
04/30/2018 | 37
- Benefits of the Federation Model plus …
- Joint finances
- Shared administration
- Relieves the pastors of day-to-day school operations
and frees them for spiritual ministry
- Consistent tuition and fees and curriculum
- More shared resources
- Significant financial benefit
- Scalable
- Example is Holy Cross Academy
in Webster Groves
The Corporate Model
Pastor Pastor Pastor President Advisory Board Principal(s)
04/30/2018 | 38
The Tough Questions
- Can we continue to do what we are currently doing in the manner
we are currently doing it?
- Or are there better ways to do what we are currently doing
that would be more efficient / effective through regional collaborative efforts?
- Or are there new paths we can take on a regional basis?
04/30/2018 | 39
Looking Forward…
- Projections indicate the current individual parish school structure
is unsustainable
- We must strive to make Catholic education a priority amongst
young Catholic families
- Parishes and schools must work together to keep Catholic
education viable / affordable / sustainable for the future
04/30/2018 | 40
Next Steps
- There are no plans to implement any changes for the 2018–2019 school year
- The Steering Committee will continue to explore regional concepts
for applicability
- The Steering Committee will adapt these concepts to uphold our values and in
consideration of our particular circumstances
- Formal recommendations of the Steering Committee will be made by
end of July
- Pastors and the Archbishop ultimately decide the path forward for the
individual parishes and schools
- This briefing material will be made available on your parish website
