Leaky roofs and a power outage Monday were the only impact from flooding on Eunice schools.
But Supt. Edward Brown said Plaisance Elementary was hit by a foot of water.
The Plaisance school was the worst hit of parish schools, he said.

Residents with flood damage should proceed with their cleanup, but document the damage.
That’s the advice of Eunice Mayor Scott Fontenot and Parish President Bill Fontenot.
In Eunice, city crews have been picking up debris left at the curb, Scott Fontenot said.
Damage from flooding in St. Landry Parish may cost millions of dollars, Parish President Bill Fontenot estimated Wednesday.
More than 500 homes were flooded in the parish during a 20-inch deluge of rain that started Friday and ended Saturday evening.
St. Landry Parish public schools and St. Edmund Catholic School will be closed through Monday.
Louisiana Economic Development encouraged businesses impacted by this month’s severe flooding to take advantage of federal, state and charitable assistance being set up to help them.
