EVANGELINE PARISH PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN TUESDAY

AUGUST 15, 2016

       Evangeline Parish Superintendent of Schools Toni Hamlin told KVPI News there will be classes Tuesday.

       The public schools were closed today (Monday) because of flooding problems over the weekend. Hamlin said there were four schools in the parish with water: James Stephens Montessori, Chataignier Elementary, Mamou High and Mamou Elementary. School maintenance personnel, teachers and students came in over the weekend to help clean up the school.

      Hamlin announced that the buses will be rolling Tuesday but there may be areas in the rural section where the buses may not be able to pass. In those cases, students will be excused. In some areas, busses will be passing a little later than normal so please be patient.

     We are awaiting word from Sacred Heart on whether they will have classes.
