Ladies and Gentlemen,
For almost four days now you and your families have endured the after effects of Hurricane Gustav. You have demonstrated your ability to adjust to difficult circumstances and your willingness to help our local school districts reopen their schools. All of your efforts are appreciated.
At this time, the Claiborne Building remains without power; it may get up tomorrow, but for now I would like to advise you that it is not necessary to report to work tomorrow.
I fully expect that the building will be able to receive us on Monday. Therefore, please be prepared to RETURN TO WORK ON MONDAY and please be ready to assist our districts as they go back to their normal school activities. Many of our districts are struggling and are in great need of our help. I know that you look forward to supporting their efforts.
If you have any issue which would hinder your ability to report to work on Monday, please let your supervisor know. If you cannot contact your supervisor, please email Mary Gloston.
All the best…
Paul Pastorek
Superintendent
Louisiana Department of Education
