Limited Declaration of Emergency for Facilities Operations

In light of the Hurricane Ida, the COVID -19 risks, the Governor's emergency declaration order, the Louisiana Department of Education's guidance, its obligations under its Charter Agreement, and the guidance of health professionals, it is apparent that such a situation constitutes an emergency in accordance with Louisiana R.S. 38:221(A)(5)(a).
