A landmark Albany school is moving to smaller quarters.
Saying it's time to stop the financial hemorrhaging, Albany Roman Catholic Diocese Bishop Ed Scharfenberger has decided the troubled Bishop Maginn High School will leave its current home, move to the former Cathedral School on Park Avenue, to "build a new beginning" with perhaps new administrators and board members.
Vincentian Institute and Cardinal McCloskey High School merged in 1977, creating “Maginn” in the former McCloskey building.
The Times Union says the decision behind the latest move resulted from the findings of a task force formed last summer. The school serves 138 students in a building designed for 1,200. It opened after the original McCloskey was torn down as part of the South Mall construction.
The diocese has yet to decide whether or not to increase tuition.
