WisWatchdog: Can a school district decide how Catholic a school is?

St. Augustine School, Hartford, WI

St. Augustine is an independent school that, while it teaches Catholic doctrine, is incorporated separately from the archdiocese and has its own board of directors and bylaws. It is not part of the Catholic school system.
