? The Brooklyn Diocese has announced that Saint Anthony-Saint Alphonsus in Greenpoint will close at the end of this school year.
The Diocese blames financial problems and a decreasing student body for the closing. School officials say enrollment dropped in 2006 to 169 from 285 six years ago. The Brooklyn Diocese says the school is facing a budget deficit of more than $130,000.
Parents worry about where they will place their children once the school doors close for good this summer.
