Ouachita Parish voters reject bond for new schools
Ouachita Parish voters rejected a $14 million bond proposal for two new high schools, two junior highs, six elementary schools, and expanded vocational programs by a two to one margin. Among 8,122 ballots of 27,546 eligible, west Ouachita counties opposed the plan more than east areas, with opposition led by West Monroe Mayor W B Hatten. The defeat follows a similar May measure and leaves space and timing uncertain for any future school expansion.
