I am really surprised to hear that so many LCMS schools closed! Here in the north Texas suburb of Frisco there is such a demand for preschool and school options. Many LCMS parents in our congregation end up going to other church schools sponsored by non-denomination or Methodist congregations. This seems like such a shame and I do hope that the LCMS puts more focus on sponsoring schools. Also, our LCMS church sold some of its land to a private Montessori style school. I had hoped our church would have kept the land and built the school itself.
