LPSS monitors potential tropical system, no school closures announced yet
LAFAYETTE PARISH, La. (KLFY) -- The Lafayette Parish School System announced on Sunday that its leadership is monitoring the possible weather impacts of later this week to determine if schools will be closed.
LPSS provided the following statement:
The leadership team of Lafayette Parish School System met Sunday afternoon to discuss the possible impacts of Invest 91L on our district. The National Weather Service in Lake Charles and local meteorologists expect the area of low pressure to develop into a tropical system that could bring significant rain and wind to portions of Acadiana mid-week.
Superintendent Francis Touchet understands the anxiety that accompanies the threat of a storm, and he wants to reassure LPSS parents, caregivers, faculty, and staff that they are closely monitoring the situation to determine when and if schools should be closed. Superintendent Touchet will make the call as soon as possible to allow our community to prepare. Storm preparation information is available at GetAGamePlan.org.
We will communicate updates related to Lafayette Parish public schools through J-Campus, the LPSS social media channels, and local broadcasters.
