Coach Franklin expressed the year s excitement and thanked Maurice George, Susan Harrison, Joey Comeaux, parents, and teachers for their support during the year. Board Members expressed accolades for the high average of the athletes. The Superintendent thanked Mr. Edward Landry for his support of the athletic program. By unanimous consent, the Board adopted a resolution of sympathy for the family of Mr. Felix Fernandez. Suspension in previous years was 3 days at home.
Disrespect is the leading cause for suspension.
Statistics show that 6 th and 9 th graders have the highest suspension rate. Parents are given the option when their child is suspended of using the ISS program or staying home. Parents opting for ISS have to provide transportation. Mr. Landry reported that approximately 10 percent of the students cause the problems. Considering enrollment at the high school of approximately 1200 students, the suspension rate is less than 10 percent.
