Following this morning’s weather briefing and after consulting with area emergency officials, we have made the decision to close all Calcasieu Parish School Board schools and facilities tomorrow, September 10 and Wednesday, September 11, in anticipation of the landfall of Hurricane Francine. This decision is being made out of an abundance of caution and to give all of our families adequate time to prepare for the incoming weather system. The school board meeting planned for tomorrow evening has been rescheduled for Tuesday, September 17. We will continue to monitor the weather closely and will provide updates to everyone in the coming days. We will provide an update to our families regarding the status of school on Thursday, September 12, as the weather system progresses and gets closer to landfall.
