South Louisiana School Closures for May 17, 2024

Another nasty round of bad weather barreled through southeast Texas into Louisiana last night.

As a result, there have been reports of damage across the region and several thousand homes are without power. (At 5:30 am, there were over 160,000 homes without electricity across the state of Louisiana.)

While most area schools are open today (Friday, May 17), we do know of several schools/school systems in south Louisiana that are closed today.

We will update this list if and when schools notify us of any further closures.
