Ouachita Parish bond issue on east side passes as west side fails
The Ouachita Parish School Board election sees the east side approve a $33 million school bond and a 7 mill maintenance tax while the west side rejects both. Total systemwide results show the bond passing east but failing west, and the maintenance tax failing overall. Superintendent Howell warns finances will worsen with five new schools and thinner maintenance funds, as leaders promise to seek drastic cost reductions.
