Abstract | The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the number of urban Catholic and other private schools that are closing amid financial pressure and dwindling enrollment. Contrary to popular understanding, many private school students are from middle- and low-income families, and many private schools are expressly dedicated to serving them. Such closures are an important part of the story of how the pandemic has affected private schools. However the tale is not entirely one of weakness. Other schools have used their autonomy, flexibility, and strong family and community relationships to deliver robust distance learning. This article examines how the right policy choices now can help ensure that private schools remain viable alternatives for families, even as all schools enter a period of newly constrained resources.
