Public Schools Closed Monday Due to Flooding Issues

August 13, 2016

 

    Evangeline Parish Superintendent of Schools Toni Hamlin announced today that all public schools in Evangeline Parish will be closed Monday because of the flooding conditions in some areas of the parish. Schools dismissed at noon Friday at the start of the heavy rain event.

    Hamlin told KVPI News that Sunday will be used as a day to assess and inspect all of the schools and begin the cleanup efforts. It was reported that Mamou High and Elementary have water in the schools.

     The announcement follows a dusk to dawn curfew called for by Police Jury President Ryan Ardoin and a reported foot or more of rain that has fallen in the Ville Platte area. This historic rainfall caused water to enter into people’s homes and businesses and stranded numerous vehicles in the Ville Platte area.

     KVPI has not received any announcements about Sacred Heart School which is due to open for classes on Monday.
