The following communication
was read and the Board autho-
rized the Superintendent to in.
vestigate the matter and to use his
| Judgment as to whether or not to
reopen the school on Bayou
Shaffer:-
To the Honorable the School Board of
st. Mary Parish. Franklin, La,
GRNTLEMEN:-We, the undersigned,
citizens and taxpayers residents along
BAYOU Shaffer within the limits of the
Morgan City School District, in the 9th
Ward of this Parish, respectfully re-
present
That our children are without school
facilities of any kind, and have been
for some time past, by reason OF the
abandonment of the school heretofore
conducted on Bayou Shaffer. That
owing to the inconvenience Of the loca-
ton Of the former school, by reason of
the difficulty of transportation, it is
impracticable to re-establish the same;
that taxed, as we are, in the above
school district, for its support, we con-
slider that our children are entitled to
receive the same benefits educationally,
as are those more favorably located,
and that such results can be obtained
only BY having our children attend the
school in Morgan City.
Your petitioners show that there are
upwards of 30 children of educable age
living on the Shaffer who are at the
present time deprived of schooling by
the above conditions, and we earnestly
urge upon your Honorable Body the
necessity of providing q means OF tram
sportation for them whereby they may
be enabled to attend school in Morgan
i City, and be returned to their homes in
safety This, we are OF the opinion,
should be by the hiring of q substantial
gas.boat for such purpose, as the con-
veyance must be made by water. and
this course will be found to be much
more economical than attempting to
again conduct the school of the Shaffer
which has been abandoned.
Respectfully.
