Louisiana School Board Members Recommend Isaac Repairs
Members of the Tangipahoa Parish, La., school board have recommended $220,000 in repairs to school buildings damaged by Hurricane Isaac.
The Advocate reports Loranger High School’s gym and the main building at Chesbrough Elementary in Kentwood both require new roofs, at projected costs of $145,000 and $74,000, respectively.
The repairs to Loranger High’s gym roof will have to be approved by U.S. District Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle, who oversees the parish’s 47-year-old desegregation case. A standing order in the suit requires court approval for all non-priority repair costs over $125,000.
Chief Financial Officer Bret Schnadelbach said Tuesday the roofing projects will be paid out of the district’s roofing fund, pending reimbursement by insurance or the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
