Jackie Webster, a mother of two students at St. Bernard
School in Oakland, talks with some of the school’s students riding
the bus to nearby St. Jarlath School, Feb. 1, the first day of shared classes
after St. Bernard School temporarily closed because of fiscal problems.
Parents and the parish community are raising funds and working to increase
enrollment so the school can reopen in August. Sixty-three of the school’s
75 students moved to St. Jarlath. The other students enrolled elsewhere.
Webster will accompany the students on the bus each day.
