Calcasieu school officials wait and see

Calcasieu Parish School Board officials were also keeping a watchful eye Friday on Hurricane Dean.

“We are working with the Office of Emergency Preparedness and monitoring this storm very closely,” Superintendent of Calcasieu Schools Wayne Savoy said.

“Over the next few days we should have a pretty good idea of the direction and tendency of this storm. There are a lot of guys smarter than I am about this and we’re listening to them.”

Savoy said he has been in contact with Calcasieu Parish Administrator Mark McMurry and OEP Director Dick Gremillion.

“Our plans depend upon what direction this thing is headed,” he said.
