From the Lafourche Parish School District:

Today we have been notified that employees and students in two classes have tested positive for COVID-19 on the campus of W.S. Lafargue Elementary School. Our guidance from the Louisiana Department of Health guidelines classify multiple classrooms as a cluster and warrants quarantining of the entire school.

remain in effect until Friday, October 23rd.
