Parents Cannot Compel School Board to Harvest Timber

The Times-Picayune reports that 12th JDC District Judge Mark Jeansonne threw out a lawsuit filed by a parent against the Avoyelles Parish School Board. The lawsuit was seeking to compel the school board to harvest timber on school trust lands and to use the proceeds for the school system. "Attorney Rodney Rabalais, who represented the parent, said state law requires that trust lands be administered on behalf of the 6,800 students in the system. "
