The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board had already approved a calendar for the coming school year when Superintendent Sito Narcisse announced a proposal that would shorten summer vacation by roughly two weeks.
While some praised Narcisse for his bold action, he was also flooded with community criticism.
On Monday, nearly 600 teachers expressed their opposition
Thursday night’s school board meeting
included hours of public testimony both for and against the plan. Following public comments, board members decided not to offer a recommendation on the proposed calendar and said they needed more time to consider public feedback.
The new superintendent of schools in East Baton Rouge Parish is facing criticism for a proposal that would bring students and staff back to the classroom two weeks earlier than planned.
