French immersion program to seek state charter
A French immersion charter school planned for Sunset will seek a state charter after the St. Landry Parish School Board limited it to 30 students from the parish.
Jerry Domengeaux, board president for Academie Franco-Louisianaise de Sunset, said the school cannot start operations with only 30 students from St. Landry Parish.
The St. Landry Parish School Board approved the school at its April 12 meeting, but included the 30 student limit. The Type 1 charter would place the school under the authority of the local board.
