Bourque
A lot has changed since Acadia Parish Superintendent of Schools John Bourque took over more than a decade ago – curricula, policies and even the school dynamics themselves.
State inmates are being transferred out of the Evangeline Parish Jail, according to a news release from the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections (DOC).
It’s been a while coming, but the crossdrain at La. 13 and Maple Avenue is going to be replaced, beginning Monday, Aug. 25.
The drain is often referred to as a “bridge” though it is a huge culvert buried adjacent to the railroad tracks at the intersection.
