Reserve, La.- Thursday night, St. John Parish school leaders announced they are applying to a program developed in the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy in an effort to move forward on much needed school repairs.
Officials said they are submitting an application to the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act, rather than appealing the amount of money FEMA allocated to the district following Hurricane Isaac.
"The School District has decided not to pursue an appeal for either East St. John High School or Lake Pontchartrain Elementary School at this time.
