NEW ROAD, LA (AP) — The Pointe Coupee Parish School Board is hoping to recoup nearly $1.9 million from the state's Recovery School District for much-needed repairs at Pointe Coupee Central High School.
The Advocate’s Terry L. Jones reports the school is the site of the district's proposed Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Arts Academy.
And the board is hoping the federal judge overseeing the decades-long desegregation case that reverted control of Central High to the school district will hold RSD accountable for the repair work officials said they agreed to do before relinquishing control of the campus.
An attorney told board Thursday U.S. District Judge James J. Brady said he would do what needs to be done to get them to pay.
Central High was shut down in March for the 2014-15 school year by Brady.
