More woes for S Lake-Placid Catholic schools

Roman Catholic schools in Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake have been struggling to boost enrollment this summer.

Local parishes have organized to try to keep the important schools healthy and vibrant, despite a declining number of kids.

Now, Anne Bayruns, principal at both schools, has been arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.

Here’s the Adirondack Daily Enterprise treatment today:

The principal of the Tri-Lakes area’s two Catholic elementary schools has been charged with driving with a blood-alcohol content over twice the legal limit….

Bayruns told the Enterprise Monday evening she had a few drinks but didn’t think she was intoxicated.

“I think I was fine,” Bayruns said. “I didn’t feel like I was (intoxicated) at all.”

The charges are misdemeanors.
