Norris J. Green Jr., councilman for District D, is seeking your vote and support on March 26, 2022. I am a dedicated father, and I feel that our children are our greatest assets.

As your councilman, I will make sure the police department is properly funded to help our district and city fight crime and violence.

Could a ‘Balanced’ Calendar be the future of Vermilion education?

Mon, 01/31/2022 - 11:38am

Most people in Vermilion Parish have never heard of a “balanced calendar.” Yet, those two words were spoken at a recent school board meeting for possibly the first time. However, it will probably not be the last time.
Assistant Superintendent Paul Hebert introduced next year’s school calendar to the school board.
Next year’s school calendar will be like this year’s school calendar. Students report to school on Aug. 11, 2022 for the first day of school. Graduation will be held May 18, 19 and May 20.
But when school starts in 2023-2024, it could be on a different date.
