I met with the Director of the Catholic Schools Office, Charles LeBlanc
and his senior staff and discovered some interesting facts:
- Catholic schools in the US receive little or no government funding
- Each diocese funds all system schooling
- Catholic school teachers are paid approximately $11,000 less than
government teachers (no wonder they are finding it difficult to train
and retain good teachers)
- Facilities are constantly in need of upgrading
