As the clean-up progresses, a better timeline will be developed on when the bayou will be reopened to the public. Total wildlife recovered deceased is reported as 17 aquatic salamanders, 3 turtles, and 1 crawfish. One duck was captured yesterday, and one alligator was captured today. Both have been taken to a rehab location to be decontaminated and cared for. Wildlife crews are continuing to survey the impacted area, looking for any distressed wildlife.

The WATER CONSERVATION NOTICE is still in effect. Sample results continue to indicate the oil spill has not affected the water quality at the treatment plant and water continues to be treated.

“Campus and classroom disruptions are hindering the teaching profession and student learning,” Dr. Brumley wrote in the letter. “As we approach a new school year, please recommit to assertive discipline action to create safe and orderly environments where teaching and learning can flourish. Students and teachers deserve peaceful schools.”
