Will Acadiana students have school Wednesday after winter storm? Leigh Guidry, Lafayette Daily Advertiser
Between a hard freeze warning still in effect, extremely low temperatures expected to continue and rolling blackouts Tuesday, local school district officials called off classes for Wednesday.
For some, the timing was lucky, as Wednesday already was a planned day off as part of the Mardi Gras break for half of the districts in the eight-parish Acadiana region. Students in Evangline, St. Mary, Vermilion and Iberia parishes are expected to return to schools Thursday as scheduled.
But other school systems in the area Acadia, Lafayette, St. Landry and St. Martin parishes had shortened the break to two days after starting the fall semester late due to the COVID-19 pandemic and hurricanes.
