Parents and community residents are asking Terrebonne Parish school officials to reconsider last month s decision to close Pointe-aux-Chenes Elementary amid dwindling enrollment.
And they are hopeful that a Houma lawmaker s $1 million addition to the state budget bill will add an incentive to keep the school open.
But School Board President Greg Harding and Superintendent Philip Martin said they don t expect the board to overturn the decision.
Harding said his concern is that the proposed state money, even if approved by the Legislature, will not be sustainable year after year.
“So that would be my only concern is not to sell the residents and the people who live in Pointe-aux-Chenes with a false hope in saying that they don t continue on funding these programs, Harding said.
