With only one probable parish-wide election date remaining in 2021, the St. Landry Parish School Board still has more questions than answers as they contemplate placing a comprehensive tax proposition before voters.
Elected board members have scheduled June 3 as the possible target date for deciding whether as many as three separate proposals aimed at significantly improving employee salaries, athletic facilities and establishing an ambitious capital outlay plan for school sites should be put on the ballot.
In addition to the deadline for approving some or all of the propositions, the board has to decide whether to select Nov. 13 for putting the property tax on the ballot or waiting for a 2022 election date is more appropriate.
