The Saint Rose Academy in Mayfield is struggling to stay open - but has managed to ward off being evicted for at least another month.
The school paid the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority $10,000 Friday morning.
That money bought Saint Rose some time to pay for the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority Center.
It was supposed to close the three and a half million dollar sale in December, but after more than four contract extensions, there was still no deal, and the authority threatened to shut down the school.
Today`s payment gives the school one final extension until August 1st when it must pay for the purchase or pay a $120,000 occupancy fee, or face being evicted.
