This report, presented to the Cincinnati Area Commission on Education, concludes a study which tested the hypothesis that all Catholic schools in the inner city area of Cincinnati, Ohio should be invited to form a special mini-system under the direct supervision of the Archdiocesan Superintendent of schools. The hypothesis was intended to answer problems of rising costs, declining enrollments, and demographic changes. A study of the feasibility of a centralized system versus a decentralized system of schools was conducted, and the decentralized system was determined to be more feasible. A plan of action representing the collaborative roles and responsibilities of the local schools, the Education Office, and the local Archdiocesan community is outlined. (Author/JCD)
