From a local news station:
Up until last week, it looked like the transaction would finally be complete, but a new development caused the plan to fall through and the school leaders found themselves back at square one.
For the past few days, fundraising efforts have been the primary concern for parents, faculty and school administrators. …
The main cause for concern now is the looming June 30 deadline. Although community support has been great, they are still short and will need to make up the difference by next week. That is when school leaders plan to hold a meeting with parents to declare whether or not they will remain on the property. They want parents to have enough time to prepare themselves in case a location change in imminent in the future.
More also at the school’s Web site.
Another good article, and certainly better written:
“We have only until June 30 to remain here because the Christian Brothers have decided not to renew our lease,” Roberts said. “The only way we can stay here is to purchase it.” …
The school invested about $250,000 in improvements to prepare the campus for students, Roberts said.
About 160 students are enrolled in the school, which serves students in grades Pre-K to 12.
Roberts said he expects the enrollment to grow in the next year since it opened 64 spots to eligible students from low-performing public schools as part of the Louisiana Department of Education’s Louisiana Scholarship Program.
