EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ The Southern Poverty Law Center filed a petition on Wednesday in district court for Caddo Parish on behalf of a student and his parents to block the planned closure of Queensborough Elementary School after the 2024–25 school year — saying the school board did not hold the required public hearings.
