Little Cypress-Mauriceville CISD Superintendent Stacey Brister notified parents that schools will be closed another week due to effects from Hurricane Laura.
On Wednesday night and Tuesday morning the Little Cypress-Mauriceville CISD received significant damage during Hurricane Laura. We are working with our insurance company, Entergy, and preparing our buildings to safely return to school. Because of this, LCM will remain closed for the week of August 31st through September 4th.
With many staff and students without electricity we will not move to a virtual learning platform at this time.
The District will re-evaluate each week to determine when a return-to-school date will be decided. We must have operational utilities for students and staff to safely return.
All sporting events and games from all LCM campuses will be cancelled next week, August 31-September 4. This will include any activities on Saturday, September 5th. All gyms and facilities will also be closed.
Thank you for your prayers and your patience as we face some challenging days ahead in restoring our buildings. Please be safe as you assess your personal damage and begin necessary repairs.
