By Lee Strong After months of delay and anticipation, the Diocese of Rochester' has formed a nine- member board to decide on a plan for reor- ganizing Catholic schools within the diocese. The Commission on Reorganization of Catholic Schools — to be headed by William Pickett, president of St. John Fisher College — will review recommendations from nine groups already studying Catholic schools in the diocese. The commission will then frame a plan for restructuring these schools, for implemen- tation in September, 1990. \WeJon't intend to study Catholic schools — they've been studied to death;' Pickett said. \The role of the commission is to turn the recommendations (of existing groups) into a coherent plan for action: We are to make recommendations (to Bishop Matthew Clark) that are dear, implerneritaple, concise and ready fbr.actipn, Ours will be a definite plan for action!'

At that point, the commission will cease to exist. the commission will base its recommenda- tions on information and plans submitted to it by nine bodies already examining Catholic schools in the diocese: the four Monroe Coun- ty quadrant planning boards; the three cluster planning boards dealing with schools outside Monroe County; an informal group represent- ing Catholic high schools in Monroe County; and the Implementation Committee for Cath- olic Elementary School Planning for the City of Rochester and Monroe County. 1 The newly formed commission, whicp is directly accountable to Bishop Clark, results from a recommendation of the Subcommittee on Catholic Schools of the diocesan Five-year Financial Planning Task Force. In creating the commission, Bishop Clark charged its mens! *..: with four priorities: toen- hance the quality of education in Catholic schools; to maintain the Catholic nature of the schools; to consider the needs of the poor; and to develop a plan that is financially feasible The commission will also make recommenda- tions concerning Hispanic, students, multi- cultural education, racial balance and funding. \The Rochester City School District is un- dergoing the same kind of planning and recon- dii siderationof the mission of education that we plan to do;\ Pickett said. \While the two are not directly related, it's clear that the Catho- lic schools and public schools draw from the same base of children and share many of the same challenges!' ,. Joining Pickett on the commission are: John Crowe, a former member of the Five-Year Financial Planning Task Force who will serve as the vice chairman of the commission; Broth- er Davids Andrews, CSC, the national Direc- tor of Education for the Holy Gross Order; Father Michael Conboy, pastor of St. Margaret Mary Parish in Irondequoit; Sister Barbara Hamm, RSM, principal of St. John the Evan- gelist School; Timothy Leahy, former superin- tendent of Catholic schools for the diocese; Constance Mitchell, program director of Pro- gram for Rochester to Interest Students in Science and Mathematics; Irene Rivera de Roystpn, a counselor at Monroe Community College; arid Peter Spinelli; chairman of the Diocesan Board of Education. . ,.
