St. Mary Parish schools will remain closed through the remainder of this week due to impacts from Hurricane Ida.
Superintendent Teresa Bagwell said the closure is due to the lack of reliable communication services and fuel supplies in the community.
Students and staff will return to school on Tuesday, September 7.
