Gustav: School Closure Extended

The St. Mary Parish School Board has extended the current school closure through Wednesday, September 3rd.

Please continue to closely monitor the projected path of Hurricane Gustav and stay tuned to local media outlets, our district homepage and this emergency blog for updates.

The St. Mary Parish President and Office of Emergency Preparedness have called for a mandatory evacuation of our parish beginning at 4:00 P.M. on Saturday, August 30th.

The call for a mandatory evacuation of our parish played significantly in the decision to extend our anticipated school closure.

I trust that each blog reader will have found a safe place to await the passage of Hurricane Gustav. Dr. Aguillard
